Imagine this: you are filling a very long form in a website; may be shopping cart, search page, or any portal where long entry of fields is needed. When you submit, it yells : session out. please login again ! That's a bland situation when you had to type all over again. Some time it might be short, but you may not remember what you typed also.

This is purely the context-sensitive mistake of page design. Now a days, there are so many ways to retain non-important values using client side scripting. Some sites remembers what you typed and some do not. For ex: Gmail auto-saves what you typed as a draft. That's a neat thing.

What if, you loose lengthy form filling due to computer or connection error ? Here comes the life saver if you're using Firefox. 'Lazarus: Form Recovery extension'.

Never lose anything you type into a web form again! Lazarus securely auto-saves all forms as you type, so after a crash, server timeout, or whatever, you can go back to the form, right click, "recover form", and breathe a sigh of relief. I am very glad that I got to know about this add-on. Many times I lost forms for different reasons (server suddenly disconnected, a key that I accidentally typed and got me out of the page, etc.). Now I feel confident that if this happens again I will be able to recover a whole form or just a field that was not saved, and save time | excerpt

Do give an attention to security related settings after install. After installing it appears in bottom right hand corner of Firefox. You can set password to retried details as well. Very handy feature.
