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.)

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
