Seamonkey doesn't remember data filled in normal form fields,unlike firefox,opera and IE...e.g. on www.google.com, enter search data and search. close page, reopen google.com and key in the previous data, seamonkey should show previous data if it matches

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
It shoulf remember form data even in normal text fields
You can save form data manually via Edit->Save Form Info. For the FF type autocomplete, this is probably a dupe.
Ya it is possible to do it the way u described. But is it not too cumbersome to do it everytime i fill some field on a webpage. Plus if I need to fill in the details again, I need to go to the form manager again and ask to fill in the data. In a case where out of 10 saved fields, I need 5 fields to have old data and rest new, this functionality becomes too cumbersome...
So I asked Y cant seamonkey show a list of previous entries (something like what heppens in the url bar when I enter a web address) as I type in data in the field. Y have a dialog box like functionality for a thing trivial as this. Take opera for instance, it just stores Personal information in such a dialog box, not every form field on every different page.
