BTW, who decided the old form manger wasn't needed/used/wanted?

sigh...

Download and install the Forms History Manager extension

I did - when a form is in my browser nothing happens- enable form and
search history is selected in history, a right click reveals form
history and there are items listed BUT so far when I'm presented a
form and/or start typing in a form, nothing happens.
Am I doing it wrong?

I've never tried to go backwards after a SM update- is there going to
be a problem with going back to 1.1.8 from 2.0?

Is there a version of mozilla that retains the form manger?

This is really a disappointment, I've used Netscape/seamonkey forever
but form manger is a required application here.

when you open forms history Manager highlight the row in which the item
you want to change then double click a window pops up with the info. you
can edit from there.

I dunno who decided to kick the old manager to the curb, but it IS a major downgrade from how it worked before.

Even when I had a *new* form to fill out under 1.18, it made some reasonable guesses and offered up all the matches it thought were appropriate, and I just unchecked the lines that were not needed in the new form or changed via dropdown the data for a specific line.

Having to click on each line in a large form REALLY REALLY sucks in SM2.

I'm definitely sticking to 1.18 also. The missing Forms Manager was the first thing I noticed about 2.0. It's a major error not having it in 2.0 also. Hopefully with all of us complaining, they'll see it should never have been left out.
