Ok, looks like everything is in a file called formhistory.dat

Bringing up the same webpage didn't trigger auto complete (If I'm remembering my opening words correctly) and there wasn't anything in history.

So, I think my only chance for recovery is to be able to browse the contents of this file. Is that possible?

Try it and see... :-) Hint: use 'less formhistory.dat' -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

I used my slickedit IDE (does excellent on bin files) and didn't see much but the usual binary garbage as text.

probably encrypted.

Didn't see anything in firefox either to be able to browse....
