Textarea Cache: Firefox Add-on for Saving Text Input Fields
"Textarea Cache" is a useful Firefox add-on that automatically saves and remembers content that users type into textarea or WYSIWYG editors. It offers a safety net in cases of unexpected tab or window closures, allowing users to recover their input text from the cache panel, saving time and preventing loss of data.

Works fine for me (Win7, FF 115.16.1esr (64-Bit)). Saved entries can bee seen and copied, deleted (automatically after a period), and exported as file.
