User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

When testing the Mozilla builds in a production environment it is quite
disturbing that all the data is lost.
Since the bandwidth of user input is quite low, it would be great to have an
event tracking mechanism, which records user input, so that the point before the
crash can be easily reached. (This would have to be an external app, but would
also improve the quality of bugzilla feedback significantly).
Specially when writing an e-mail or searching in the net at multiple sites it is
a pain in the neck to see it all lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. doing something complicated within the mozilla suite
2. crashing mozilla
3. crying out loud because of all the work lost P-(

Actual Results:  
Data is lost and crash data is collected and sent to mozilla

Expected Results:  
Monitor the user input
Rebuild the status before the crash
