The original solution, just calling disableSelection() on the window, is a no-go because Firefox, unlike all other browsers, doesn't except form elements, meaning that content entry is impossible, and thus rendering the editor completely useless.

The nuclear option is to just do a massive selection of all divs that are not inputs or textareas. This is costly and slow.
