I support both ...

1.  User confirmation of actions that discard a user's investment of 
time and thought, especially those that result from a slip of the 
keyboard.

2.  Per-action preferences for enabling/disabling the confirmation.

I know that I'd like to turn off the current confirmation when closing 
a window with multiple tabs.  I use Command+W exclusively to close 
pages.  When reach for the mouse and click the red button to close the 
browser window, it's only to get right of all tabs.  So the 
confirmation dialog is increasingly annoying.
