    With a view to devising a prevention strategy, I wonder what miskeying, while I type a forum post, would cause the browser (Firefox) to close ?

    In all likelihood it has to do with how you "miskey" there is nothing in the forum that would cause that but if you inadvertently hit a browser "hotkey" it may close. By the way our posts autosave periodically so if this does happen, you can go back to the post box and quite often it will give you an option to restore what has been autsaved. It is not always everything that you were going to post but it is certainly a start. The longer you were posting the more that has been saved.

    Alt-F4 will close the active program.
