Am I the only one who hasn't noticed Firefox's Edit->Undo feature until now? It's really handy when you're typing something in a TEXTAREA and accidentally delete or overwrite the contents. I guess I'm no power Firefox user.

Ctrl+Z ;)

I get confused when cmnd/ctrl+z does nothing. I haven't used it in the edit menu for some time. However, I am glad (though usually not aware) that this feature is in FF. It's nice. I wish there was a "get my text back" option after an accidental refresh, though. (Or a page not submitting, as is more common.)

It's part of GTK+, not Fx, as far as I'm aware. It works in every GTK+ application, whether or not there's a menu option for it.

Usually i hit back and i think so far i've had a 89% success rate at getting my context back...

Right, but not on a forum like this one. (Try it with the quick reply box.)

Rather than going to a new page and going back, refresh as well will destroy the data (as you override it with the default value).

I want data protection. Perhaps I'll request that from FF next release.

It's in Konq already :)

What browsers can't you undo in? Even IE has this capability, not that I'd care much. Opera has it (what I use generally), and I imagine most others as well.
