I've been an emacs user for 25 years; "ctrl W" is built into my brain as "delete marked text" not as "kill tab". When using web based email composition in Firefox, accidental "ctrl W" drives me crazy.

Browsing for solutions, I see that "KeyConfig" add-on used to support my request, but apparently not for Firefox 3.6.9.

You can bump the maxVersion to 3.6.* to make Keyconfig work in Firefox 3.6.9
