ARGH. I just entered a whole comment in here (and this one wasn't flamebait) and then without thinking I hit C-w to erase the last word, and Mozilla Firefox closed the window and destroyed all my text! Cosmos, I hate this stuff.

Okay, I'm going to go compose my comment in xemacs and then cut and paste it into Firefox.

Do use tabs, and install the "Undo Close Tab" extension. Using that, you can undo the closing of tabs (duh ^^), and form contents etc. will all be restored.

Saved my rump on more than one occasion.

Well, don't do that next time. All the keyboard shortcuts of Firefox and Gnome (and KDE, etc) are well documented. If you use the wrong ones and lose your work you have no one to blame but yourself.

Well documented is no excuse for wrong.
