Does anyone have an idea?

I am using firefox. If I fill out any form on any website (including textfields) and I accidental navigate away (e.g.) browser back) then I can go and use the opposite (browser forward) to get back to the page with the form. And firefox restores the text, that I already typed.

But on the Lazarus forum I always loose everything that I typed.

This can only be the fault of the forum software.

There exists a firefox extension, its called "Lazarus" (sic!), it will restore every form on every website you ever typed, even multiple versions of the same text, it will save the current form immediately before every new page load, before every button click and also in regular intervals while typing and therefore most of the time it can help you even if firefox crashed completely before you could submit the form. IMHO one of the most useful FF extensions I have seen so far.
