User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3

When selecting a profile it is too easy to delete the profile by accidentally pressing delete immediately before return. The return key that should start Firefox with the chosen profile now instead confirms its deletion. On my Finnish keyboards the delete and return keys are quite near each other: yesterday I once deleted my profile (luckily not its files) and today I almost did it a second time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. firefox -no-remote -P
2. <Delete>
3. <Return>
Actual Results:  
The default profile is deleted.

Expected Results:  
The delete key should be ignored, or if a deletion shortkey is needed, maybe add a shift or other modifier key. Alternatively the confirmation dialog could have Cancel selected as its default action.

I cannot reproduce Bug 541615 (Pressing delete in profile does not ask for confirmation of profile deletion).
