Last time this happened to me, Firefox insisted on restarting in the
middle of a sequence of questions where I had already spent a fair bit
of time filling things, so I was *really* annoyed but against all odds
Firefox managed to restore the *full* state, including the content of
the not-yet-submitted text boxes.
