Re-fill form fields when toggling Javascript #91

Open roipoussiere opened 3 years ago

roipoussiere commented 3 years ago

When the user clicks on the no-JS button, the page reloads without keeping the current fields content.

This data lost can be annoying: suppose that the user writes a long markdown text in a text-area, then clicks on a preview button that renders the markdown on the client-side. It will not work since JS is disabled, so the user enabled JS, but at this moment he/she will lost all the form content.

It could be practical to fill all the form inputs by their previous value when reloading the page.

Don't worry fixing this, the owner of the extension changed and the new owner included malware code in the extension that can steal auth tokens.

I encourage any user to report this extension to the mozilla foundation with a clear explanation of the situation and uninstall this, the risk isn't worth it, at all.
