Confirm closing Intruder/Repeater tabs

Please add a confirmation dialog box when closing these tabs, as they (a) are the easiest to close by mistake, and (b) contain some of the more important information in a session.

Do other people find they are accidentally closing Intruder and Repeater tabs? By design, the X close button only works on the currently selected tab, and since you wouldn't ordinarily click on the tab that is already selected, we considered this to be a low risk problem.

Despite the low risk, they're clicked enough that mistakes are inevitable (I've done it myself on a few occasions). My main concern is that the penalty of losing these tabs is very high as there is neither a confirmation nor an undo.
