1335668 - Remember keyboard layout for each tab

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Session Restore, enhancement)

Description

[Artem Polivanchuk]

It's possible to remember keyboard layout for each application in OS.

Web browser is different than other applications in this way, because each tab is like separate application.
It is mostly related to non English users who use two or more keyboard layouts.

For example I always use three language layouts and often it's quite annoying to switch layout every time I switch the tab.

It would be very useful if Firefox could have the possibility to manage and remember keyboard layouts for tabs. Having such option would avoid users to switch between different keyboards during the browsing session.

AFAK at the moment there is no option like this in any other browser, so it could be another useful advantage.

Are there any updates about this feature? It's so crucial to have this feature; Because of this I can't completely migrate to Firefox :-/

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
