- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 6646734, 5 years agoI asked Mozilla Forum what happened to an old addon called Lazarus, which allowed retrieval of recently entered text on a form. Two addons were nominated and I tried both: **Simple Form History** showed a menu topped by search terms submitted an hour before to Google, while **FormSave** produced a popup menu with my recently submitted comment text as the first item, and I clicked to retrieve into a blank form in that website. I don't know how broadly FormSave will work--so I give it 4 stars here-- but Lutostag may want to broaden its name and utility.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13828945, 7 years agoLike most others, I use it as replacement for Lazarus and although different, it is useful.
But I just discovered it doesn´t capture the Write window on Google Gmail. I once more fell victim to the common plague of focusing on the keyboard while typing, and not noticing, that the typed text had been accidentally marked by a swipe on the trackpad. I had been typing quite a lot and was knocked down to a state of depression by the incident.
So, please fix this ASAP!
Thank you!

posted 7 years agoThanks for the feedback.
I have added an issue https://github.com/lutostag/webextension-formsave/issues/15 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12297356, 8 years ago+1 star since my last review, since the UI evolution was exactly what I requested: thanks for listening.
For further improvements:
I would like to be able to redimension the "pop-up" and is columns, but maybe that's a Firefox limitation.
In particular, the "date" column is too wide on my display, and the "URL" one not wide enough.
Also, in replacement to the URL column, or as an addition, I think the column with the Page Title would be useful.
TextArea Cache Lite does offer that.
Finally, the column sorting should be remembered (and should be "from most recent to oldest" by default, in my opinion).Developer response
posted 7 years agoI agreed 100% with your previous suggestions. They were spot on. I know there needs to be some further improvement, but yes these changes are a bit more difficult to make. I will think about the overall experience and see if I can improve it further.
Thanks for the suggestions, you have already made this add-on better with your previous eagle-eyed ui requests! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12518081, 8 years ago... does work now a lot better, thanks a lot!!
as mentioned by others, there's still UI improvement possible though. :)
but still, this is usefull, now where lazarus is dead.
btw, here @addons.mozilla.org it still doesn't work.Developer response
