The way forms works now is you type something in say first Name That
item is then saved to the internal forms Manager to be reused. and next
time you need to fill in first name you type first letter and a list of
choices show up. you choose what you need. Only thing is if you type a
Mistake you can't despite people saying click and then scroll to bad
item and hit delete. Well it doesn't work. with the Forms Manager
History extension a window come up with a data base of all the pages you
have added items. go to that choose the bad item highlight double click
and a window pops up which you can then use to edit your entry.
No it doesn't auto fill in as it use to in 1.1.8. . It works, but takes
more time, less efficient. I suspect a lot of stuff was left out because
the developers ran out of time to put out the door. So now we are
suffering for the hurried-ness.

I see that but I'm NOT seeing any form filling, i.e., no offers to
fill any forms so far - is this function "on" automatically or do I
need to do something to invoke it?
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?

So for the new form "whateverthehellitiscalled" hasn't reacted/show

invoke?
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.
