Wow... very useful (when reporting bugs, for instance) but also dangerous, indeed. Does it happen for every site with html forms having a textarea or input fields or just happen in one specific site (e.g., Stack Overflow)? It can be a programming or coding "addon" for that concrete site... > Does anyone know a way of turning this behaviour off. I don't think this can be a "feature" at all. Should it is, it should be disabled by default. Anyway, as I always remove all of the cache data, cookies and history when browser closes I can't really tell if this (this → remember user's filled data and auto-restore it without user intervention) is the "normal" behavior.
