User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081211 Shiretoko/3.1b3pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081211 Shiretoko/3.1b3pre See title. This is a simple suggestion. I was confused about how to disable pages at first (which is probably due to the fact check marks, on the left, aren't in boxes, making it look like they can't be modified, IMO... Worth filing another bug for that one?). That's when I tried to press delete, and it did nothing, naturally. What do you think? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Close Firefox "unexpectedly" 2. Get the Session Restore page 3. Select a page of your previous session, and press Del Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Uncheck the site
I agree with both suggestions.

This should be WONTFIX as the Delete key does have different semantics: a deleted item is removed from view, not merely unselected. If we implemented this, we might get users asking for this in different situations where we do have lists of (un)selectable items (just consider Adblock Plus' Preferences where Delete indeed deletes!). I'd rather make the checkmarks look more like the checkboxes known from everywhere else (might be worth filing a bug about)...

I filed the bug about checkboxes: bug 471320
So, how can you uncheck a tab/window using the keyboard? Last time I checked, space did not work and Enter restored the session.
(In reply to comment #4) > Last time I checked, space did not work WORKSFORME. Please check again and file a bug if it still doesn't work (after having verified the bug with a recent build and in Safe Mode).
Sorry, it was an extension that was blocking the key press. I will report the bug there.
WONTFIXing this. They keys behave as they should in checkboxes (even if they don't look quite like proper checkboxes).
