Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: wishlist

When the user presses ctrl+w, firefox should warn the user if the web page 
being displayed is a form.

When the web page displayed is a form, the user may be entering some very long 
piece of text (e.g., in a web mail application, or in a wiki). This is also a 
time when the user is suspectible to pressing ctrl+w accidentally (because 
ctrl+w normally means "erase word" when editing text). When ctrl+w is pressed, 
firefox closes the tab/window immediately, without warning, and the user loses 
all the data that has been entered. In web mail or wiki scenarios, the user 
might have spent an hour or more composing the text and might not be able to 
remember what has been typed.

(The warning for closing multiple tabs is not related to this wishlist item, as 
that feature only works when the user tries to close the window. However, in a 
tabbed setup, ctrl+w will close the tab, and that will not trigger the existing 
warning mechanism.)
