How 2 send email after connection lost & comes back - without loosing text.
Having problems with ISP connection - not fault of Firefox. When connection is dropped while I am typing an email, yellow message appears at top of email screen advising connection lost & to try again later. Once the connection is regained, there is no obvious way to send the email - screen remains frozen even after connection is regained. End up having to retype email and hope connection holds.

One option would be to compose your emails in a separate program that lets you save locally so you don't have to worry about your internet connection. Options include Microsoft Word or a wide variety of free software such as http://www.libreoffice.org/ . But it's a hassle and interrupts the flow, so definitely not optimal.
In a search on the add-ons site, I did find one that promises to save your form data as you go. The problem is, a lot of webmail sites uses techniques that bypass regular form controls, so this might not work. But, it could be worth a try, or feel free to keep searching.

Thanks much jscher2000. Since posting my question the email in question finally appeared in my Drafts folder - ugh:) I had dropped the screen to lower bar while researching this ongoing problem - about 2 hours ago. Once I had parked the email in question, I reopened my hotmail via the homepage. Hope this makes sense.
When same problem occurred repeatedly over past weekend, I had left the email page before enough time elapsed for it to move to Drafts.
Again, can't thank ya enough for your prompt response!!
