Guide to recovering lost web forms. (Firefox)

What are web forms?
Web forms are those boxes of text that you type, ie those when you're posting a thread or a reply. Has it ever happened to you that one day, you've just finished typing up a long essay, you come to submit, but oh no! The browser has become unresponsive and you feel unmotivated to type it up again? Don't fear, this guide will solve this problem for Firefox users

Step one
First thing you do is go Here. You will go to a page shown below, click "+add to Firefox"


Step two
It will start downloading and installing, you should get a message saying to restart Firefox. So restart Firefox.

Step three
Now test it, type 2-3 sentences like below, and then refresh the page


Step four
After refreshing, you should see the text box empty. Right click in the empty space, and you should see "recover text". Hover over it, and your text should be there. You can hover over it and it will give you the full text.


Step five
The disappeared text will re-appear (as shown below), good as new. You can now enjoy the safety of knowing your web forms are safe.



Hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading.

Holy Mother of god...
Thankyou Marrow... thankyou Lord. I have lost written forms and posts an un-countable amount of times, either because of an error in my browser or I exit out accidentally/press the back button- I am now currently downloading this addon and following the guide for ALL the computers in my household.
10/10, purely for it's originality and value as an add-on.

 

Simple yet useful guide. Good job Magic Arrow

 

Haha. I only downloaded the application yesterday after I typed a 1000+ word thread only for IE to not respond.

Thanks.

 

Good guide, I like it. The concept is very good and it's helpful. Good use of the centre option. This could be debateable but my only critique is the font size, perhaps you could bring it up one, as it's a bit small for my liking, I personally had not trouble reading it but others may not. Overall it's good.
