Opening a document in a browser plugin for editing is not a good idea as the environment is too fragile to risk your data. As an example, when the browser is closed or the user opens another page in the same browser window all data entered is lost if the user didn't save it before. There is no way to prevent a browser to throw out a plugin! So if you have a lot of situations like this you should deinstall the plugin so that the documents get openend in OOo directly. Besides that entering data into forms should be done using input fields and a submit button. There is no need to "save" the form (=document) to transfer form data. Even if the form is an OOo document it can perform this task perfectly in read-only mode. If I understood your use case correctly it looks like the misuse of documents as form and data container at the same time. Some other points in the issueare quite interesting though, e.g. the comment about "not accessible object". It fits nicely to some other more general ideas about the "read only mode".
