Ever had one of those "oh $*#@"
moments when you realize you've just lost half an hour of your life
because something went wrong while you were entering stuff into a web
form and there doesn't seem to be any way to recover it? If so, you need
Lazarus. If not, install it anyway, before disaster strikes!
Lazarus securely saves forms as
you type, allowing you to safely recover your lost work after server
timeouts, network issues, browser crashes, power failures, and all the
other things that can go wrong while you're entering forms, editing
content, writing webmail, etc, etc, etc...
Lazarus works on ordinary web
forms, WYSIWYG editors, and even AJAXified comment boxes, and will save
you from pretty much any given server, browser, or connection problems
that might otherwise cause you to lose your work, or that really pithy
blog comment you struggled on for over an hour.
Lazarus is a free extension
which comes both for Firefox and Google chrome which lets you recover
the typed text which got lost in a web form. It securely auto-saves all
forms as you type, so after a crash, server timeout, or whatever, you
can go back to the form, right click, "recover form", and breathe a sigh
of relief.
In order to recover the typed
form data, right-click somewhere on the form and Lazarus will give you
the option to restore everything. It even works with revisions, so if
you submit a change to your article but accidentally deleted a portion,
you can restore the older version, copy the missing section.
