Details

This is somewhat a follow-up from bug 598092. Part of this might be fixed by bug 598092 with a dirty hack. We might want to change nsIFormSubmitObserver (and consumers) to make sure the values are saved only when the form is really submitted and not when the form is going to be submitted (IOW, save the values internally before the submission and in the database when the submission really occurs). This should be done after Gecko 2.0 / Firefox 4.0.

We can not reliably tell if "submit" happened or not. Forms can gather data and send it over own HTTP request.
