I hope we have not reached the point where seamonkey, or indeed any
"free" software, will defined by a few - the genius of its origin was
a browser that encompassed several vital tools under one umbrella. To
start cutting off any of these, form manger included, diminishes the
original concept and automatically removes some users who had depended
on a given ability. If the "powers that be" really want to send people
to other browsers this is great way to start.
BUT I really believe that the importance of form manger was just
underestimated and there remains hope for its restoration.
There is a glimmer of hope. there has been some rekindled interest in
adding a forms manager, But, it will not be along the lines of the one
in 1.1.8. It would be more along the lines of the extension Forms
History Manager. But Most likely it would make a return in version 2.1
or 2.2 (remember updates are in .1 increments so it will be quite aways
away
I began using Firefox because Form Manager was gone; figured, "may as
well". I use the extension, Form History; it sure, ain't the same as
Form Manager, though. - MikeyG
