User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718 When using the "Back" button to return to a form page, Mozilla will prompt every time without fail if you wish to resubmit the PostData which has expired from the cache. When clicking around forms such as a search page or a forum, this gets very old, very quick. I fully understand that in situations such as order forms, its important to stop the user from accidental multiple submits. By the same token, I think it would be great for my personal sanity if the user had the option to disable the warning for some websites. Case in point: Just now I've been looking through support topics on a website for a programming project I've been working on. The search *form* uses Post data. I search, and maybe 15 results come up. For each one, I click the topic to read, and go back. I have no desire to confirm my postdata 15 times! I propose a checkbox that would offer the user something to the effect of "Disable warning for this Form" or "Disable warning for this Domain." Thanks.
