Yes there is, if you have an average of 10 flash ads on a page, it would spam you to death with those alerts for each and every page you visit. (In reply to comment #426) > This way we wouldn't have to agree on exact list of reserved keys: We do not have to agree at all -- browser itself already has a list of reserved keys, and browser addins should also be able to register additional reserved keys. The idea with plugin deciding what keys to handle is retarded. It should be exactly the opposite -- plugin is a GUEST, browser is a HOST. You do not let guests to do whatever they want in your house. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
