How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.
