FormSave Firefox

FormSave

Automatically saves any textarea typed in, and allows the user to view saved textarea content by clicking on a button.

Features & Capabilities

FormSave is a Chrome extension designed to automatically save any text typed into textarea fields on web pages. Whenever you type in a textarea, your content is saved in real time, protecting you from losing valuable input due to accidental closures or navigations. You can easily access your saved content by clicking the FormSave icon, which displays previously stored text organized by website.

For example, if you use yamllint.com and enter text in its textarea, FormSave will save your input automatically. This handy feature ensures your work isn't lost if your browser crashes or you navigate away accidentally. While the extension works across most sites, there are a few security exceptions such as addons.mozilla.org. If you encounter any site where FormSave doesn't function properly, you can file an issue on the project's GitHub page.

With FormSave, you get reliable background saving for your textarea content, minimal setup, and straightforward access to your saved data — making it an essential tool for students, writers, developers, and anyone who frequently types into web textareas.

Is FormSave Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

FormSave requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
