Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090612 Firefox/3.5 ID:20090612061417 Due to we apply changes to preferences on OS X immediately and hitting Esc while staying inside the preferences dialog closes the dialog, we leave the entered string in the text box. That means any accidentally edit for the home page setting cannot be made undone and the former value is lost. You explicitely have to use Cmd+Z to restore the value via the Undo feature. Unless the user doesn't hit return after changing the value we should not apply the changed value. Alex, what does UX think about?

We should probably cancel if you hit ESC before you put focus elsewhere; IOW, only update the pref once you've moved focus, and revert if you hit ESC.

Mike, was closing as invalid was intended? Given your comment I suspect it.
