156765 - form content crash recovery and/or backup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 158258

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[Wesley Tanaka]

Imagine the following use case:

You are using yahoo mail (or some other web-based email client) and have typed a
lot of text into the text area used for writing the body of an outgoing email. 
Suddenly, your browser crashes, and you lose some large amount of work that you
have done on the email message.

It would be wonderful if there were *some* way to recover the text of the
message.  This could be anything from an auto-save temporary backup file which
gets written to a temp directory every so often, to a more fancy crash recovery
feature which allows you to bring up the browser in the exact same state that it
was in when it crashed, forms and all.

Is this bug still being monitored?  No action on it, despite it still being a
problem (and a very old one, at that).
