How disable the F5 key in Mozilla

[prado]

Hi,
I am trying to disable the F5 key in Mozilla. I have the next code in
javascript that it is working in Internet Explorer but it is not
working in Mozilla. how can I disable the F5 key in Mozilla?

<script>
document.onkeydown = function(){

if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 116){
window.event.keyCode = 505;
}
if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 505){
return false;
}

}

</script>

You can find very simple solutions here:

Well, stop that then and fix the real problem, instead.

If refreshing breaks something, then attempting to prevent that action
doesn't fix anything. More importantly, you'll never really succeed:
there are other means besides F5, including other keystrokes, and it
will clearly do nothing for users with scripting disabled.

Finally, have you thought the consequences through properly? If a
document doesn't load completely due to network problems, but sufficient
data comes through to disable refreshing, what do you think the user
will do if they can't reload?

Redesign your app so that F5 doesn't fubar it.

The linked solution does work - unfortunately - even for the latest FF
1.5.0.4
Today later I'll file a bug to bugzilla so they fix it (unless there
are volunteers to do it immediately ?)

No, it does not "work" at all.

Today later I'll file a bug to bugzilla so they fix it (unless there
are volunteers to do it immediately ?)

To fix what? The ineptness of webpage authors that can't write a decent
app that won't die if the F5 key is pressed? Good luck with that but I
don't think filing with bugzilla can fix that problem.
