It's a very useful and irreplaceable extension. Please update it to make it works properly again in the latest version of the Firefox.

The main issue I have is it only caches the text when you hit a key. Anytime there's a keystroke it saves instantly. The option "interval to save text" does not work. So if you accidentally highlight the whole comment and hit a key it'll delete everything and then boom your cache will be empty. This has happened to me a few times. I'd much rather it save using a time interval to prevent this.

Addon hasn't been updated in over 3 years so that's likely why it has issues. Still, it's better to have this than not have anything.

I have not relied on this much but it has saved my butt a few times and I avoided retyping everything in a text box. There have been a few places where it did not save the text but it seems to work most places. Also, as one previous 3 star review pointed out, the copied recovered text often includes a bunch of html code which is annoying. It's still better than retyping a long entry and you can delete the coding or I think you can highlight and copy the recovered text rather than using the "copy" button to avoid this problem.

This is must be a joke!
It is not working in Firefox, Chrome and Opera.

It works really well and I find it very useful.

An incredible addon, and I would give it a 5 star rating but for one thing — when you open the cache tab to copy something that isn't your last inputted text, and click the copy button next to the one you want to copy, it adds unnecessary formatting HTML code to what's copied, rather than just copying only what you actually entered.

If there was a way to make copying from the Cache page, rather than the dropdown menu plain text only, I would give it 5 stars.

M'a dépanné plus d'une fois, super module ! Indispensable

A 'must have' addon. Works really well and saves users from a lot of annoyances due to accidental page reloads caused by pressing F5, backspace, mouse's forward/back buttons, esc, page reload clicks, auto-refreshings, page or system, electricity cut-outs, and other unfortunate happenings.

so good!

One of my favorite addons and lifesaver!

Most of the time you don't need it, but it's great it's there when you do.

The best addon of its kind, absolutely essential for anyone who types a lot in Firefox.

Textarea Cache just save me from having to rewrite a feedback I spent 40 minutes writing.

The feedback form timeout, and closed the formed. It discarded all the text I entered without warning!

I screamed loudly until I remembered I had Textarea Cache installed. I was able to retrieve the text with no problem.

Thank God for Textarea Cache!

I have tried another extension with menus everywhere. This one is light and discreet, but easy to use.

It does a simple job and for me it does it good, saved me some nerves from time to time when some timeouts happen in our ticket systems (OTRS, JIRA).
Works on recent versions of FF, has a history and is slightly customizable.

It's not a lazarus but it's also not trying to. I'm happy about every wall fo text that's not lost.

Very helpful and easy. Good job!

one of the most important features today is saving your writings - they get lost so easily. Thanks a lot for this one

When was the last time this app was updated ? Because it doesn't work on any websites
