Disable "asking about to close a window"

Hey, with Safari 3, there is the "Taboo-Plugin" included, so I read right...
It makes me insane, that Safari is always asking me if I want to close really the window, only cause I written some text in any field.
Is there any option to disable this new function?
Thanks, Peter

iBod,
Closing multiple tabs is a different issue from the one schottenfalke asked about.
In Safari 3, if you enter text into a form on a web page, and later close the page, it asks if you really want to close it. This is not addressed in the Preferences, nor can I find anything in the plist.
Any way to turn it off?

Express install always asks user to close browser window

Is Adobe in charge of the code that closes browser windows at
the end of express install?
I'm currently using SWFobject 1.5 to embed my flash movie
with express install active and neither IE6, IE7 or firefox will
automatically close once express install has finished. It used to
be that IE would close and reopen the window, firefox never used to
but that's a different topic I'm sure.
Perhaps Adobe changed something?

Never mind, found the answer here:
Re: Closing brower window

W/zoteroinstalledwedo a window,open() followed by a window.close() in tha window. Zotero remains and the window is still open. How do I close the window with zotero present in FF w/o disabling zotero?

the js function to window.open() is in pageAA on a tab.
We click the form or link to open the popup to run a video.
We have a close button on the popup window.
When that is clicked the window.close() js is executed on that page leaving Zotero present and the popup still open.
We've tried using close() window.close() name.window.close() and
all fail the same way.
Short of disabling Zotero is there a way to close the popup in FF and any other addons with one shot?

Thank's but still no fix.
In safe mode everything works.
Without Zotero - everything works.
When the popup is loaded with Zotero, the tab shows a constant "Loading" with the circular in process icon.
The Zotero icon shows to the left of the tab.
If I right click on Zotero and close it, the close() js works properly
Is there a way to do a window.open() with:
A. no tabs -or-
B. block all add on's -or-
C. to kill an add on
before doing the close()?

Hello
Recently, I asked about the possibility to swap from windows to mac with Adobe Design Standard CS5.5. In response, I was directed to the help page and i know that it is possible. But today I see that the help page is out of date.
How cann I now swap platforms for Adobe Design Standard CS5.5? Do I realy need to buy CS6? Or afer dowloading the mac version of CS5.5 I get the key. And if I realy need upgreade the CS5.5 cann I use the Mac version of CS6 for the dowloaded mac version of CS5.5? Is it possible?

Thanks !
I didn't know that I cann buy CS6 Mac upgrade in Adobe Store.
So I have only to buy the CS6 Mac versions and upgrade CS5.5 Win to CS6 Mac?
How does look the procedure?
Do I need to install first the CS5.5 Mac on my Macbook and then upgrade it or is it not necessary?
Thanks

Who do I ask about PS elements 8 becoming compatible with windows 8???

do I have any hope at all?? I downloaded it again from here, as I lost the disc at somepoint in time, I removed it from old near dead computer and cant load it to new one... I read it was only windows 7 or lower... but I tried anyway.. and have no idea what Im doing so even if it works I dont think I know how to make it work as it came out in zillions of files.. What can I do, or who can I ask about windows 8 becoming available?????

There will not be any changes made to older Adobe programs to make them compatible with newer operating systems if that is what you are wondering. Creating new versions of software is where most any company focuses their attention.

When I try to open Firefox, a pop up says it is already running and I must close a window or restart. I can not figure out how to close the window they are asking me to.

A pop up window asks about every 2 to 5 minutes to authorize a certificate for google, I click "deny" but it just keeps on popping up.

I do not want to disable "ask me every time" option on Firefox even for a few seconds. I have searched for answers but nothing seems to be reasonable. One option was for me to create my own certificate and hope Firefox will pick that certificate if I disable the "ask me" (very iffy). Is there no way to get rid of this other than deleting Firefox?

Do you mean this?
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: "When a web site requires a certificate": "Ask me every time"
Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

When I am downloading anything from any website in firefox and if I close main window of firefox, the downloading file also gets stops and crashes.

example, I was downloading 74 mb file and as soon as I close firefox window my 74 mb file was downloaded to that size upto which it has been downloaded say 1 Mb for example..

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.quitBehavior to 2 on the about:config page. 
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.download.manager.quitBehavior
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set

How can I close all windows in Preview?

Hi all
I can't seem to find a way to close all windows in Preview.
Can somebody try this and see if they get the same result I do.
1. Copy an image into the clipboard.
2. Open Preview
3. Hold down command-N for about 20 seconds.
You should end up with dozens of windows with the image that you copied.
Now, try to close them.
I've unchecked 'Restore windows when quitting and re-openng apps' in System Preferences
I've typed in the 'defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows' hack in the terminal window
I've quit Preview with the 'option' button held down and 'Quit and Close All Windows' showing in the menu.
No matter what I do, the windows keep coming back every time I start Preview.
This 'force restore' feature of Lion is starting to get really annoying.

If I hold down the option key and go to Preview->File the Close Window menu item changes to Close all
I answered the OP's question but I see now that the question wasn't what he was really asking.

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Can I bypass this?

In the 20.0.1 update, I noticed when you accidentally close your window your browsing it automatically closes your downloads. Previous versions when you close your window and reopen Firefox your downloads are unaffected until your downloads are finished or you cancel it yourself. Is there a setting I can set that my downloads are unaffected when I close my window.

You can set the browser.download.manager.quitBehavior pref to 2 on the about:config page. 
That will make Firefox ask for confirmation if you want to cancel the download if you close Firefox.

Firefox will close when i close the window but the process doesn't shutdown ever since i had updated to FF25

I am running Win. 8.1 and had no issues with FF 24. Since upgrading to FF 25, firefox will appear closed when i close the window but the process doesn't shutdown. I have to go into Task Manager to end the process. I can then launch it again.

SOLUTION (possible).
Hi all. I had this problem as well. I currently run FF26. A week or so ago, out of nowhere FF wouldn't exit - the window would close but firefox.exe process would keep running in the background using about 50% of CPU. Not sure if it's connected, but just prior to that I clicked on a link on Facebook that looked like spam website, nothing happened, site loaded (sort of, all I saw was a msg - Please Wait...) but nothing happened, I have Eset antivirus and it monitors network traffic and files for viruses, so maybe it prevented my PC getting infected...
So, I had this problem for a few days, was searching the net for solutions, but nothing seem to help. Then, just out of luck I did something that WORKED!
Here's what I did. I noticed that svchost.exe was using a lot of CPU alongside with FF. I ran ProcessExplorer to see what might be connected to this process, the list was long and I didn't have any idea where to start, so what I did was - Right click on svchost process, choose Debug and dismiss the warning. In a few seconds svchost process quit and after that FF started closing properly.
I had to re-enable all my plugins and themes I disabled prior, I also lost my history and preferences which I trashed in the process of searching for solution. But heck, it worked, hopefully for good. Now if someone could point out the real cause of this and fix it for everyone - that would be great. Cheers!

When trying to start up firefox, getting error message Ox10007d63, regarding memory! Also if I close the window, & try again, this error message comes upvOx7c90e514....HELP!

Can open internet Explorer, but not FireFox!

That is a problem with the Skype extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I can't re-enable the save and quit option when i close a window

When you close a window, there appears a window containing the options: Save and close, close without saving and cancel, and a box that says do not ask again. Well, a friend checked this last option by accident and now every time I close when I open again I see the same pages where I was before closing. My question is: Is there any way to re-enable the option to exit without saving?

In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press Enter . The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! , to continue to the about:config page.
Search for the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', and double-click on it which should set the value to '''true'''
