Hint: Don't use ctrl-w in their terminal. Turns out that has another meaning in Firefox... [EDIT]: I'm zero for three thus far. I give up.

  That drives me starkraving mad in AWS CloudShell, because muscle memory happens faster than thinking. I thought there was a web/dom method designed for gaming like "capture all input events" but maybe it has to be in full-screen to work or something The other one is pressing esc in some web ui if I've been vimming too recently and having it nuke whatever I've typed :-( (it was almost certainly in an Atlassian product, cause they're awesome like that)

  If you open the tab in its own window (i.e. no other tabs) and also pin the tab, turns out ctrl-W doesn't close the tab in Firefox. The key combo still appears to be intercepted, as the menu flashes but it doesn't close the tab. So I doubt you can use it in the terminal, but at least you won't lose your work. If you pin the tab but not in its own window, ctrl-W doesn't close the tab but it does switch to another tab.

The rest is from me trying things out just now on MacOS, where really I used cmd-W, because ctrl-W doesn't do anything on MacOS. I'm assuming the corresponding behaviours will apply to ctrl-W on Windows and Linux, but you should test before relying on this.
