User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130702125926 Steps to reproduce: I have opened my saved passwords under Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> "Saved Passwords..." and pressed r while the input field hasn't the focus. Actual results: A password entry was deleted by accident. Expected results: Normally there should be a confirmation window. But this was already rejected with the reason that it would annoy the most users. In this case an option could be added in about:config which enables such a confirmation window. This way random users don't get annoyed about too many confirmations and other users aren't angered anymore by lost passwords.

I have another idea that could basically solve this problem too: The password manager could have an Undo and a Redo button so that accidental deletions can be easily made undone.
