Even if the mistake is noticed immediately, the cookie file is already clobbered. Most other (even minor) dataloss situations have a confirm (e.g. File/Exit); this is more likely to cause the user problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools/Options/Privacy 2. hit Clear Cookies Now 3. Actual Results: cookies are deleted immediately Expected Results: show confirm dialog
