(Get the code!)
I have not been involved in this issue at all up till now, so you can please throw away your theories about "developer pride".
Dataloss can occur when you navigate away from certain pages; for example, the contents of form fields or script state may be lost. It's relatively easy to press backspace accidentally, e.g. when you think an edit field is focused, but it isn't (possibly because script changed the focus). So please throw away the straw-man argument about removing menu items or buttons.
Mozilla on Linux is a lot more of a GNOME app than anything else. Many of the Mozilla-on-Linux developers are also involved with GNOME; none are involved with KDE. If KDE developers want to step up and produce more KDE-friendly Firefox variants, they're welcome to do so.
This is one of those decisions where no matter what decision is made there will be many angry people jumping up and down. All we can do is make a principled decision, and that decision has been made. If you can come up with a new argument that hasn't been raised yet in this bug or any of the related bugs, please mention it, otherwise, leave it alone.
