150768 - Confirmation of closing tab/window/browser after unsubmitted form data entry

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48333

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Julien Pierre]

Mozilla can have a number of windows and tabs opened.
Sometimes, some of them are left with open a considerable of data in them, for
example in forms entry fields, which can be large, for example in case of some
unfinished work. These windows and tabs can be closed without any confirmation
from the browser. I think it is desirable to have a setting where mozilla would
prompt when closing a browser window or tab, or when exiting the entire browser,
if form data has been entered manually. Ideally, the browser should tell the
user which form has unsubmitted data, and offer to look at that form.
Perhaps the setting should only be effective after a certain threshold of data
per form, or maybe if any data was entered at all..
