Have you ever filled out a lengthy form on a web page? Imagine you are writing a blog post, for example. You click submit, but for some reason your connection breaks and the post isn't submitted. What happens? You click back, and the form is clear and blank! All your hard work is gone! That just happened to me. I was writing a rather lengthy review on the laptop I recently purchased, but when I went to submit the post, my connection died and I lost it all. Hence I am writing this post, because I knew there had to be a way to recover data that I had just entered. Fortunately, I was not the first to think of such an idea, so I did not need to write a plug-in for this.

Introducing Lazarus, the Firefox add-on that will automatically save any and all data you enter into a web form while you are typing. It will also save the contents of all the forms on the page as soon as you hit a submit button of any kind. If you lose data then, you can simply click back, right-click on the form field and select "Recover from" from the menu. This makes your browser impervious from data loss even if the entire browser crashes!

This is yet another wonderful reason why Firefox exists! To access the add-on, you can visit the developer's web site or the add-on page at mozilla.
