Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160823121617

Steps to reproduce:

I used noVNC (https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/) connected to my remote vnc server and pressed STRG+W 


Actual results:

FF closed my browser tab


Expected results:

e.preventDefault(); prevents the STRG+W and noVNC sends the keys to the remote server. 

Before I updated to FF 48 everything was working fine.
Tested under Linux x64 and windows10 with FF 48 and FF 48.0.2. Only downgrading of FF resolves this.
STRG+W == CTRL+W
sounds like a dupe of or related to bug 1291706 or bug 380637.
