This bug brings risk of physical harm to those of us who for medical reasons need to use the mouse as little as possible. Please don't let Firefox be a browser that unnecessarily excludes users with hand/arm health issues.
Alex Limi's post #403 "rules" for commenting are not convincing, given that Limi claimed to "care passionately" about fixing this bug neither Limi nor a fix is to be found here one and a half year later. Someone with a twitter account should ask http://twitter.com/limi about this bug. To see a major bug go unsolved is one thing. But to not see someone from FF taking responsibility for it after so long time is really frustrating. There must be someone developing FF who knows enough about the nature of the problem to spend a little time making a modest blog post that describe (1) why only Firefox but not Chrome or IE has this problem. (2) what the prospects for fixing the problem are and (3) if there are any non-Firefox based workarounds. For example are there any other windows tools that can override Firefox control to a hotkey so that we can script the hotkey to do what we want and pass it on to Firefox only under certain circumstances? -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
