Need to get email addresses from cache , autocomplete does not work anymore for retrieving addresses. Is there a way to retrieve the autocomplete email addresses that i had been using for months. I do not use the contact data base on my web mail program. But i would like to recover all autocomplete email addresses and insert them into another address book program. Is there a utility for this or a program to import email address from autocomplete.

Autocomplete for web page form fields is stored in a Firefox settings file, not in the web page cache. I don't think Firefox's normal options dialog lets you view or export your form history, but there might be an add-on for that. You could try searching here:

(I don't use this feature, so I don't think I can be of much further assistance.)
