Hey,

I'm on FF 107 and I tried on multiple machines and networks. Firefox doesn't seem to clear inputted text in textarea elements on regular site refresh (click on reload button or F5 or Ctrl+R) anymore. Entered text is persistent througout reload. A reload with cache refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Shift+Reload button) enforces the reset of the data or if website is reopened.

Should be testable e.g. on that site: https://www.javatpoint.com/html-textarea Enter some additional text in the textarea under Output: and then reload, the entered text stays as is

This is very unexpected behavior and very annoying. Please help!

Firefox has always retained some data filled in a form with a normal reload (e.g. F5). You would need a refresh and bypass the cache (e.g. Ctrl+F5) to clear this data. If previously you didn't keep data in a textarea element with a normal refresh then something might have changed, but I not aware of such a change.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
