InFormEnter NOT Editor. But still a worry.
I've used it for years. Click on a little blue arrow on the right of boxes and get a list of your telephone numbers, email addresses etc.
The list has gone. First time ever. Just gone. They ask for a small donation. Well, okay, it's a useful tool, but this smacks of blackmail tactics - up with which I will not put.
Furthermore, close inspection of the terms are very worrying. It probes into one's software like nothing I've ever seen. Defaults to on. I encode some of the strings of numbers, but still it's come as a shock. Can't ever trust them again. Oh, and it looks while you've got your secretive mask on.
The bloke that put me onto it years ago says his is okay. That's odd. I put four items back in the list and they're still there today.
It is, or was, an incredibly useful tool. I'll be dismayed if I can't regain confidence in it - or something like it - again. I will never put bank numbers in again, however encoded.

Just reading up about WaterFox and this was a poster's issue with InFormEnter
So, I'm not alone, though the actual cause is still not certain.
"Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 12946727, a year agoI lost profile data many times so far. It is very disturbing. I think this is because this add-on saves data to Firefox Sync. Adding a new browser profile to Firefox Sync creates an empty InFormEntter+ profile on that new Firefox profile, which is copied to all profiles via Firefox Sync and loses all data."

I got a lead to CCleaner Browser. I had looked at that and forgotten all about it. Had to be it. Removed it, and my InFormEnter was okay for some days.
It's gone again. I hadn't realised just how much I used that little add on.
