Slightly different to what is described here, but one of my pet peeves is the "nuclear button" features that devs put in their software - ie easy to activate features that add marginal utility to specific niche workflows but cause irreversible damage to everyone else.
Firefox deleting every single one of your pinned tabs on close if you have a second window open is an example of this, as is YouTube jumping to a different part of the video every time you bump one of the numerical keys on your keyboard.
- NotSoVeteran 5y agoAnother great Firefox example is the shortcut for "close all the tabs" (ctrl+shift+q), which also happens to be adjacent to "go to previous tab" (ctrl+shift+tab). Depending on your preferences, there won't even be a warning popup if you accidentally press it.
- janci 5y agoTip: you can use ctrl+shift+n to reopen the lost window.
- hoseja 5y agoI accidentally clicked "Forget about this site" on an item with google domain in Firefox history recently. Cue 5-minute freeze and having to re-login, not to mention losing the entire browser-local googling history.
- gberger 5y agoMy personal favourite is the "clear" button at the bottom of forms, right next to the "submit" button.
- glugc 5y agoI haven't seen a form with a clear button in 20 years.
