Heavy SSD Writes from Firefox

Ctrl-W is not that bad, but I sometimes want to close tab by Ctrl-W but instead hit Ctrl-Q...

I've been setting browser.showQuitWarning to true for years to stop ^Q from killing the browser and with it my state.

Could have sworn that has crap all effect if you also have Firefox save your tabs on quit.

I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cmd-q-catcher... to force me to hit it twice to actually quit. Dunno if it works on platforms besides Mac though.

Or learn Dvorak. The Q and W are pretty far apart.

You're right. One second thought, learning Dvorak is the easier solution.
