While writing a lengthy text reply in a response to a FB group page article, hit the backspace button twice and ended up going back two web pages instead. Lost the whole thing when forwarding back to where I was working. Where can I find the temp files to retrieve the work?

I'm afraid that that text is lost and can't be retrieved.

You can disable that backspace action to prevent it happening again by setting the browser.backspace_action pref on the about:config page to 2.

Thank you for your quick response, unfortunately it is not the one I would have liked to have heard. Could there be any other temp files lurking elsewhere on the system, that could be retrieved?
