An absolute must have. , Mar 21, 2010
Review written by balebond - see all my reviews (2)

I just got burned by a web form after spending 30 minutes crafting some prose. I clicked on a javascript link for some help text and it wiped my text areas out. I usually know to open in new tab but I've fallen out of habit due to this script. However I forgot to install this it on my new machine. Dangit.

This should really be baked into any web browser but this fix does the trick.

So useful it's #1 for me. , Jul 19, 2009

This has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. It's the first thing I install on a clean machine (after Firefox and Greasemonkey, of course) and I've found it very, VERY handy.

I've never had any issues with it, ever.

No effect , Mar 11, 2009
Review written by wcwc - see all my reviews (17)

Using Firefox 3.0.6, Greasemonkey 0.8.20090123.1, Textarea Backup seems to have no effect. Nothing is saved, nothing is reloaded, no additions to about:config.

Very useful , Dec 28, 2008
Review written by alexandroid - see all my reviews (3)

This is a must-have script.

Saved lots of my nerves when dealing with slow or bad websites when they lose the information I entered into the form for last half an hour.

This script still sometimes triggers false alerts about restoring backups, but this is something I can live with.

Another cool improvement would be restoring not only textarea but edit fields as well, since some forms contain a mix of those types of fields.

about:config , Nov 10, 2008

I find the entries in about:config very disturbing...

But IT IS indeed a very good script, as Henrik N wrote.
