In my work I need to resend different ifnromation in the same web form again and again, but if I go BACK to original form Firefox marks Submit button as inactive. Can this be changed?
So when I go back to the form I have already sent once, it should be possible to send it again after I have changed some information in the form fields. The inactivating of submit button should be optional or it should be activated when the information in the form fields changes.

Check and tell if its working.
Thank you, that is very useful feature, but here I do not want to send same information in different web forms, but v.v. different information in SAME webform.
When I submit a form, Fierefox inactivates (greys) the submit button. This is OK, for not to clicking it twice for the one and same submitting. And after submitting the browser normally loads a different page.
Now if I WANT to send the form again with an other information in the fields I go BACK to it - BUT it is still and again inactive. This is the problem.

Either Refresh the tab OR Reload the website in a new tab. When you insert the cursor in the Form's textfields, it will auto-fill those fields. Edit whatever changes you want to make and then Submit the form.

That helped alittle, thank you. It feels a little clumsy though when compared just to clicking back ;)

Sorry, but actually the problem did not solve. If the form is in a frame (like it is in my case) you can once open it in a new tab, that makes Submot button active. But if it is no in a frame, then refresh does not change the situation. You must go back to the original link or address that opened the form and open it again from there. Then it is empty and active and you can use Auto-Fill. thank you.
Well you last suggestion with this commet solves the problem as much as it can be solved in Firefox!
