    Unclear when the save triggers for each field (on blur, on input/change?) and only seems to work with text inputs, not type="number" or select fields.

    Why 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...)

    It 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.

    Very good and useful add-on but it doesn't always store entries

    Some 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.

    Looking forward for a sync across devices.
    Does not work on mobile FF - impossible to interact (copy etc buttons do not respond).

    Syncing settings using the standard synchronization mechanism would be no problem but syncing data (form history) would be impossible because of the 100KB size limit.
