- Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Lloyd Dunamis, 3 år sidenWhy is it that whenever it's really needed, it's the time it doesn't work!...
It sees the YouTube comment as a retrievable/restorable field, why did it not save it when the video finishes and play the next in queue?... Ugh...
(I'm sure it restores as functional; just not when it's totally needed...)Utviklerrespons

- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av guyfromkcmo, 3 år sidenVery helpful. The only issue I have is the animations and fades and all that. I'd very much love if I could turn all of that off. It slows everything down significantly.

postet ett år sidenThere are only a few animations on some icons and they are purely css based. The css animations have an unnoticeable effect on performance (less than 0.5%). There was some heavy inertia in the scrollbar but that has been scaled done in the next release. - Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 16644741, 3 år sidenLifesaver
I just came back to Firefox because Safari did not offer this. This has been a lifesaver.
How many times were you revising and editing an email online, or filling in a form only to accidentally migrate away or lose the page?
With this, you've got it on your computer. The interface is tricky--I still have t0 try a few ways and I'm not sure why I choose the selections that are available but I get it. And most of the time it does have the complete text to put it in there. Once or twice it has not worked and I don't know why.
If the interface and the options were clearer, I'd give it a 5.
One other thing. I want to be able to submit questions via my add-on page. I don't want to learn how to use github, and create an account there. But perhaps I've forgotten, Customers need to remember that it is our duty to make it easier for the businesses we deal with. - Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av mecki78, 3 år sidenIt does work. That's the only positive thing I can write about it. The UI is ugly and clumsy, it's annoying to work with and if there was any alternative that would only offer the same basic functionality, I'd probably switch at once.

postet 19 dager sidenI am open to suggestions for improvements and bug reports. It is not easy to cram the many functions this extension has to offer into the limited available real estate. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Nico, 3 år siden

Ok - es hat mir schon mehrmals Eingabefelder wieder gebracht, nachdem ich versehentlich den Tab geschlossen hatte. Besser also als nichts. Aber so wie Lazarus funktioniert es bei weitem leider nicht. Z.B. wenn ich auf einer bestimmten Webseite einen alten Inhalt in einem Feld wieder haben möchte bekomme ich alle Eingabefelder der letzten Zeit angeboten. Auch von ganz anderen Webseiten. Da darf nur das angezegt werden, was zuvor auf dieser Webseite mal eingegeben wurde. Also z.B. bei Ebaybewertungen auch nur alte vorausgegangene Bewertungen. Und nicht Facebooktexte oder sonstige Eingabn auf anderen Seiten. Deshalb nur 1 Stern
- Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 13797441, 4 år sidenA fantastic ass-saver plugin, but the UI/UX ..sometimes.. ... ARRGH.
Example: https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/previews/thumbs/207/207586.jpg?modified=1616525814
Why in this wide world.. are those fields readonly? If i need the URL, i have to open my devtools and remove this nonsense parameter. I'm sure there's a technical reason behind this descision, but from a user perspective, this is complete nonsense.
Edit: @Stephan you're right, i was very busy and pissed ;) Pardon. I will check out Github tomorrow.Utviklerrespons
postet 4 år sidenInstead of complaining it would be more constructive to issue a feature request and make me aware of this unforeseen usability issue. This is probably very easy to fix.
Edit: @firefox-user Fixed: in the latest version you can now double-click a field to copy its value (explained in a tooltip at the bottom of the window) - Vurdert til 4 ut av 5av Acer.F, 4 år sidenGreat tool and reliably working, but you should be aware of the creepy point here, you install a database, that saves everything you type in non encrypted forms. Who knows who want to buy this tool and all the information behind this.
I have no Idea how to protect this data.Utviklerrespons
postet 4 år sidenIt is certainly true that this add-on stores everything you type in forms and fields, but everything is kept strictly local and no data is sent anywhere not even anonymously.
You can choose the retention period for all data that is saved, so choose a very short retention period or delete everything immediately after use if privacy is a concern. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Kr, 4 år siden

postet 4 år sidenThis issue is fixed in recently published version 2.5.6.1 so please give this a try. If you still experience problems please consider submitting a bug-report/feature-request through the proper channels and provide me with the details that help me to address this problem. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av bsdaddict, 4 år sidenAmazing addon, absolutely essential imho. Thank you so much!
(I went to the linked homepage because I wanted tip you for this, but didn't see a way. You should add one, unless you're opposed to receiving tips, that is...)Utviklerrespons

- Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av ML, 5 år sidenThanks a bunch! It's been a life saver at least 6 times for me now.
One request though: Please make it so you can select text again in the 'Form field' window (the window with View: HTML, Markdown, Wiki, Text). I used to be able to do this many versions ago (I guess 6 months ago?), and it really helped to partially grab stuff. There's another specific case where copying the HTML from the Markdown notation actually works better than the default way of 'Restoring Editor fields' (via Context menu) for one particular site I use with a WYSIWYG editor for Invision forum software.
It's entryview.css 'user-select: none;' on body{} - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 15918521, 5 år siden(X) Free & Open Source
(X) Functional, tweakable
My only warning is that it can save some very personal data, and AFAIK it is not stored encrypted, so be cautious, especially when websites take credit card details or passwords in plaintext without correctly telling the browser to not store these values.
The default clear time is some 90 days which seems far to long if you forget to clear such sensitive data. I would recommend reducing it down to your longest browsing session (time until you close all your tabs and start again), which for me is a few days. - Vurdert til 3 ut av 5av Matt GD, 5 år sidenVery good and useful add-on but it doesn't always store entries

postet 5 år sidenSome websites use advanced techniques and frameworks involving javascript that make it virtually impossible to capture user input in a generic way. On request I can add workarounds for popular websites/frameworks, please submit an issue and let me know for which website(s) capturing entries does not work (see built-in Help, Manual, Known Issues).
Recent update 2.5.6.1 contains a fix that improves storing entries for many popular javascript frameworks like the cke editor. This release massively increases the number of sites where it is able to store/restore your work. - Vurdert til 5 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 12166271, 5 år sidenThis is a wonderful extension. The developer is to be commended.

postet 5 år sidenOlder (pre WebExtensions) versions of Form History Control stored extra information in the cleanup.sqlite file. This file is located in the root of your profile folder, you can simply delete this file.
For an explanation on where to find the profile folder see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data.
I do provide an export/import utility, see: https://github.com/stephanmahieu/formhistory-export
