Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful
tomos:
I have a couple of times been using Lazarus, but never became a fan of it; too many situations when it didn't save what I wanted it to save, because there was no crash but just me closing the page and changing my mind. Now I have found a better solution for my needs:
>Textarea Cache :: Add-ons for Firefox<
Save automatically the content in Textarea.

This means that a large amount of text is saved, but there are of course also options for auto-deleting the cache.-Curt (January 10, 2013, 11:38 AM)

NOTE! they do say:
For people who need password protect:
"Lazarus: Form Recovery" is your better choice.

I presume that means that their's is not safe with passwords (?)

Yes. Still seems to work fine though. I think I was originally directed to it by a Lifehacker post. It seems to be pretty foolproof and has successfully saved my bacon and my original text in several crashes or interruptions. (Sighs of relief.)
I have also tried Lazarus, but it wasn't so foolproof in Firefox. I still use Lazarus in Chrome/Chromium though, as it seems to work OK in those, but I don't use Chrome/Chromium that much for writing or anything else.

It doesn't offer password protection, which suites me fine.

Curt, I've used Lazarus for years, and as far as I've seen, it copies EVERYTHING you write in Firefox, not just when there are crashes. That's certainly the way it works for me. (For example, it just copied my message here, even though all I did was post it. And I just checked and found that it was copying this addition to my message, even though I haven't yet posted the modified message.)
Curt:
-maybe I never made the proper settings, because it didn't work for me the way you describe it, Diva. Anyway, I am pleased with TaC.
