I'm not sure which version of FF I have, but usually if I get a post eaten, the text isn't there when I go back. Of course, I often use quick reply boxes because I don't normally need to compose long posts.

One thing I do before posting is hit "CTRL+A", then "CTRL+C" in a single motion before clicking "Post Quick Reply".

A is "Select All"
C is "Copy"

If it eats your posts, you just click in the quick reply box and hit "CTRL+V" - paste.

These are standard keyboard short cuts, almost all programs use them.
