    Hello all!

    Where does Firefox store saved form information?

    I've searched the registry and my local drive for files containing a saved word, both to no avail.

    I hope you can help.

    do a search on "formhistory.dat" and history.dat" on your WHOLE drive, usually they would be found under system user.profile

    cheers ...

    Thank you!

    I was hoping whatever file it would be's data would include the actual keywords rather than just code.
