has some proposals on what to use.

All I can see here is

"Form manager has been replaced with a new web form remembering
functionality that works very much differently. (Bug 304309)"

And *right below that line* there is "Tips: For improving form
management experience and getting some of the previous control back,
please try the Form History Control, Autofill Forms, and/or FireForm
add-ons made available by our community." with all the names of those
add-ons linked to their pages on the SeaMonkey Add-ons website!

Oops, I guess my speed reading is not working as well as I thought. I see the suggestions now. Sorry.

When I go to a site that requires user input into a form, I enter the
data, and the next time I go to that site, I'm back where I started

Try double-clicking the text field in question or pressing the down
button if the text field is already focused.

Nope, nothing. All the form data I used to have stored in v.1 has been lost, there's no response. That may change after I install an add-on.

Unfortunately not, there is no form manager to use your saved data, the migration from 1.x forms to 2.x forms is essentially jumping off a cliff. The good news is that autofill forms will do about anything, although it doesn't work like 1.x, at least is does work!

Without the forms add-ons the forms stuff sucks, as in sucks rocks off the bottom of the ocean. It doesn't do "forms" it does "form fields" and you have to know which fields and how to trigger the limited features provided. The add-ons are good to great depending on which one best fits your usage. And you get a choice.
