Steps to reproduce:

HTML textarea's does not keep historical changes. Successive usage of Control-Z key does not restore changes sequences as in prior versions. It is an issue when when editing code by example.
Reproduce: Type some text. Press enter key. Some text again. Remove some text. Press ctrl-z twice. Only last change is restored.


Actual results:

Cannot revert various sequences of changes. A single level of change is remembered(?)


Expected results:

Should sequentially revert changes step-by-step.
I am reporting this Firefox "bug" using Chrome as my proxi does not allow me to visit https pages.
Which version of Firefox are you using?

This behavior is different of each browsers.
Priority: -- → P5
I used to work with Firefox for years and I can tell you it had much more change steps/history in prior versions. Even the cut and paste was recorded. It is a shame to loose that.
Severity: normal → S3
