Hm, good idea. Even if Firefox doesn't do this, it seems nice to have. Why not?

But this should be changed in WebKit, not Epiphany. You're welcome to file an enhancement request on bugzilla.webkit.org. If you do so, be sure to select the WebKitGTK+ component, prefix the bug title with [GTK], and include a link back to this report.
