Very useful, saved me so many times, sometimes from my own inattention, often from badly behaved websites which flushed my text field. This extension saved me from having to re-type my text (as well as not being certain that I remember everything I meant to type, when having to restart from scratch).

One issue with the most recent version 5.0.6, but not sure if that's a Firefox or extension issue, is that the extension doesn't update anymore.
I check for updates, the new extension version is found, I install it, then if I re-check for updates it is found again. It seems like the update doesn't take. Restarting the browser and deleting cache didn't help. This happened on two very different Windows 11 machines (1/ personal gaming PC and 1 work laptop), both on FF 142.0.1.
I fixed by by uninstalling and reinstalling the extension.

Thank you, dev for developing this extension - it's a 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿! So many times I've accidentally deleted or lost writing in a textbox. i.e. refresh the page, select all > cut, close Firefox, tap Back, close the tab, delete cookies & lose the cache (and of course, I forgot to submit a 500-word piece in 1 of 49 tabs D'oh!)🤦‍♀️😊

This extension solves ALL of these problems! It is user friendly, Open Source, requires only permissions necessary for core functionality (SAFE), and
My 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝟒 Firefox extensions: NoScript, uBlock Origin, FoxyProxy & 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲!

**Whoops I did it again**
As I was writing this review I lost 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 above when I highlighted all text and hit ←Backspace by accident when I got up to let my dog out. D'oh! 🤦‍♀️
Good thing I installed Textarea Cache! I can get it back in 5sec! Here how: Tap the 3 dots next to the number of tabs open > in the pop-up menu, tap Extensions > tap "View your saved data" > look for the entry with your text > copy text > paste into textbox.

EASY to use • HIGHLY RECOMMENDED • 5 STARS
★★★★★

Comment|Review|Unsolicited Opinion on recent development: "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."

I swear, wildskyf & gholk, you have prevented an unknowable number of psychotic breaks, hostage situations, and general mêlée in darkened workspaces worldwide.

Not that **I ever contemplated just going utterly berserk** and throwing anything without capacity to run in an effort at self-preservation through the non-operable square portholes on RL...

By disallowing this sanity-saving gift, Chrome development can’t follow best practices for workforce mental health, possibly even world peace.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR ADDON!11 Saved my day

很高兴看到这个附加组件仍能正常工作，我一度以为这个组件不再能适应新的firefox，因此我建议把权限设置中的“访问您在所有网站的数据”设为默认打开，谢谢，我从很旧的firefox更新到这个版本，在从前不需要设置这个选项就可以使用。

Works perfectly. Hidden gem, often saving my ahh.

Works fine for me (Win7, FF 115.16.1esr (64-Bit)). Saved entries can bee seen and copied, deleted (automatically after a period), and exported as file.

amazing!

Have the same problems as Michael R. The menu is slow as hell, the drop down didn't works as it should and Firefox (Win10) hangs often for seconds. No impact on performance as long the menu is closed. Makes it hard to use at all. When it worked as it should it was a clear 5 Star Add-on for me. Hope the author can fix that problem.

I have been using this addon for so long, I can't remember when I started. It has saved my hide on countless occasions. I previously gave it three stars because it stopped working right on several devices, but it now works great again. Don't browse without it; it is a great asset. It gets four stars because the UI is functional, but could be better.

Saved my bacon on several occasions. As sometimes you submit a form after typing a long essay and then some error occurs or the page "expired" or some other non-sense and you must start all over. Important: you must limit the amount of days to save....so that the database doesn't get to large and crash. I recommend 6 months maximum (181 days). Author should have a default of 1-3 months.

Critically valuable extension if you write posts in forums, etc.

It is amazing! Thank you for building this add-on.

Textarea Cache was once a necessary and often used Firefox extension, but sadly doesn't seem to work anymore on my Linux distribution. What's the problem?

doesn't work anymore

Несколько лет назад отлично работало. Сейчас FF 104.0.1 расширение НЕ работает. Addon not work now!
