Request: Navigating-away warning when composing a post?

[Brandon Martus]

A good idea -- it'd definitely be configurable. Newer versions of Safari do this by default, I believe, and it drives me nuts (when I have to use Safari).

It's on my 'one day' list.

After just conducting a few tests with Firefox while composing this message, Firefox will remember what you typed into text boxes if you accidentally hit 'back' or if you close a tab. To solve the first, just hit 'forward', and to solve the latter just go to History > Recently Closed Tabs > and choose the page. When it loads, it will put everything you typed in back into the text boxes.

I know Safari will remember the text in text boxes if you hit back and then forward again, but the ability to re-open closed tabs is still lacking.

Yep. I have never had any problems leaving a page because firefox would save it and so nothing would be lost.
