Reproducible: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to a page that has a form on it (such as this one). 2. Enter some data into the form. 3. Close the tab. 4. Undo closing the tab. Expected Results: When the tab is reopened, the form data is still there. Actual Results: When the tab is reopened, the form data is gone. I just hit this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070211 Minefield/3.0a3pre. I suppose I should be lucky that I was able to reopen the tab at all, but I would expect not to lose data on the tab.

This page uses SSL, so the contents of form elements aren't saved by default. You can set browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 0 if you want it to be saved anyways.
You're right -- that setting restores the form data. Thanks!
