Ooh, I would love to see for SeaMonkey v2.x web browser too but don't
see one. Hence, my CC'ed to mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup to ask
(yes, e-mailed the author/developer too). :(

| YET, these rotten form comment boxes need to be improved so data is
| saved in them and remembered so if you accidentally navigate away from
| a page some how, you can come back, and your unfinished text will be
| reestablished inside the form edit boxes where you left off.
|
| I am sure you are saying, this is impossible given the way the edit
| boxes are made using the OS's subsystem widgets. I say, MAKE IT
| POSSIBLE. Figure out a way.
