214828 - Disabling annoying POSTDATA prompts.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 160144

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

Description

[M. LaPlante]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718

When using the "Back" button to return to a form page, Mozilla will prompt every
time without fail if you wish to resubmit the PostData which has expired from
the cache.  When clicking around forms such as a search page or a forum, this
gets very old, very quick.  I fully understand that in situations such as order
forms, its important to stop the user from accidental multiple submits.  By the
same token, I think it would be great for my personal sanity if the user had the
option to disable the warning for some websites.  Case in point:

Just now I've been looking through support topics on a website for a programming
project I've been working on.  The search *form* uses Post data.  I search, and
maybe 15 results come up.  For each one, I click the topic to read, and go back.
 I have no desire to confirm my postdata 15 times!  I propose a checkbox that
would offer the user something to the effect of "Disable warning for this Form"
or "Disable warning for this Domain."  Thanks.
