Bug Description

Enabling the form history filler extension doesn´t seem to have any noticeable effects. This is true both for Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 and Slitaz 4.0 .

Scenario:
- go to Menu->Preferences->Extensions
- check the checkbox near Form history filler

Expected result:
- when I visit pages that require user input, previously typed informations are remembered and eventually auto-completed

Actual result:
- every time I visit a page that requires user input, nothing is remembered from previous visits

Unless I have misunderstood the purpose of this extension, this is a problem.

It worked for me once, but after that one entry it saved, it didnt save anything else, so its somewhat inconsistent

This seems to be fixed. I have noticed the latest release "remembers" some details for some of the websites that I visit, e.g. Yahoo. I can only confirm this for the Windows build.
