Firefox add-on lets you edit and save your website form input

Filed under: , , ,

Dissociated Press turned me onto It's all text!, a nice Firefox add-on that allows you to edit text on web pages using your text editor of choice. This comes in handy when you want to leave comments or post something in forums and then, say, your browser crashes or you mistakenly press the backspace key outside the text area. We've all been there - all your snark work is erased!

The extension provides an edit box for any text area on web pages. After installing, at the bottom right corner of any text box, a tiny edit button will appear. When you click it, the web page will open in your text editor (first time users will be prompted to set preferences including your editor choice). When you save or close the document, It's all text! automagically refreshes the web page and your text will appear within the text area in seconds or after you see a yellow flash.

In the event your browser crashes (or your cat jumps on your keyboard) your work is saved in your external editor. Then you can just restart Firefox and paste the text back in.
