There is a link to the plugin mentioned by Jono at
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/autosave/

If you enable the plugin it will record your input every 30 secs (or
specified time) to local storage or session storage and there is a
restore draft button added allowing you to restore the information or
you can set a variable to allow it to restore automatically on page load

Here's a demo of the TinyMCE autosave plugin:
http://valtlfelipe.github.io/TinyMCE-LocalAutoSave/

There are two types of webstorage for html5, one is sessionStorage and
the other is localStorage. The localStorage object stores the data with
no expiration date. The data will not be deleted when the browser is
closed. SessionStorage is not recommended in your case because
everything would be gone when the session is lost, i.e. a timeout
occurs.

Title:
  Auto-saving in TinyMCE editor

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It would be good if text could be auto-saved in the visual editor
  TinyMCE to avoid accidental text losses when switching between windows
  and when Mahara times out but the text is not finished. A user doesn't
  know what the timeout time is and thus couldn't - even if they wished
  - be mindful about it.

  Apparently, TinyMCE has a plugin that saves text automatically:
  http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=14352 -> We'd have
  to check if it is still works and what else is needed from the Mahara
  side.
