It's not a browser bug.
It's a website bug.
You want a browser workaround for a web application bug.
They guy is proposing a user workaround for the _web_application_ bug.

Of course, the browser workaround you suggest would protect more people.
Anyhow, it's a problem of education. Either you have good websites, or you have users who understand the intricacies of web interaction.

I believe that a warning when repeating a POST for saving, like the one used on refresh, would be nice, though. I still believe it's not a bug in firefox.
