@flbr this should work on a page crash/reload situation as well! firefox has a bunch of memory and your string of words is probably still in that abyss somewhere, waiting to be written over.

but for example when i type a big long answer and hit submit, and the website says my session has timed out, and hitting back only gets me to a "login" page instead of the page w/ my text on it ;..;

Now that situation has a simpler solution. When you submit and the app decides you're no longer logged in: freeze! Don't touch that current tab!

Open a new tab, go to the same site, log-in. Only then move back to the tab you were typing on and go back a page.

This usually saves the text for me!

But the place where this will most likely happen to me nowadays has a surprisingly decent auto-save, so I don't really need to do this that often anymore.
