How to prevent the "are you sure you want to leave this page?" prompt on Facebook?
I'm using Firefox 35.0.1. If I make a post on my Facebook timeline that contains a link, when I hit "Post" and the page goes to refresh to add my post to my timeline, it asks if I'm sure I want to leave the page. I've seen that messages on some sites before, for example, if I'm on a forum and I write a post and go to leave the page before hitting submit, it'll ask me that, but I've never seen it on Facebook until a couple of days ago.
Is there any way to turn this message off? Or even better, can it be turned off just on Facebook? Thanks.
Thanks, philipp! I guess Facebook must have made some changes to their code, but I'll make the change you suggested and see how it goes.

"Are you sure you want to leave this page?" on saving Publishing Page
Hi all,
we're getting some ... interesting ... behavior in IE.
Setup:
We have a page layout based on some content type. Both contain (besides other fields) a DateTimeField which is shown in edit mode.
When a user clicks "Save" after editing the page, he is presented a modal dialog saying "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" with the options to "stay" or "leave".
When a user clicks "leave" the following behaviour is as expected (changes are saved, page is working). When a user clicks "stay" he sometimes gets prompted for conflicts.
As soon as the DateTimeField is removed from the page layout (but is kept in the content type) there are no more such pop-up dialogues.
This happens only in IE 9/10/11. FF and Chrome work fine.
Do you have any suggestions, on how to fix this? Not the conflicts part, but the fact that this dialogue box is shown at all.

I already tried seeting IE (Security) Settings back to deafault and disabling add-ons. It did not help.
The site is accessed via https and is in the Trusted Sites list in IE.Hi SomeTallGuy,
According to your description, my understanding is that the model dialog appears after you click Save.
My suggestion as below:
1. Set the Internet Explorer Security Setting to low.
2. If you have add your site to trusted sites, try to delete all the browser data, such as cookie, temporary files to test whether it works.
Best regards,

Are you sure you want to leave this page?
Periodically I start to get "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" message in OVM Manager 3.2.1 - if I click no, I get the message again. If I click yes, it logs me out... Often without any action from my side - or in the middle of my activities (so it doesn't look like it is related to any timeout).
I have disabled timeout in Tool and Resources - Preferences, so it is not suppose to log me out at all.
Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks,
AlexVery painful & I am also interested in a fix for this.
On 3.2.1 I am also getting this message though I only notice it when I am idle by not clicking on anything on the page.
On OVM 2.x I like to leave my screen open and it re queries the statuses. I like this UI more but the timeout or whatever is very annoying.
While I haven't been timed out right after recently doing something, when I launch jobs that take awhile I like that it shows me how much progress has made (cloned 101G of 500G etc)... Once you get timed out you lose the status and I don't see a way to get that dynamic job progress feedback anywhere without logging into the OVS and querying the file sizes as they progress on the file system. -
How to i get rid of the redirect notice it shows up on my safari whenever i try to go to a different page
it says "the previous page is sending you to: LINK
if you do not want to visit this page, you can return to the previous page"Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=56a3c4b71b3dc1d9&h l=en
which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though. -
How to add for wikipages the popup " are you sure you want to leave this page" on edit
Our users complain about hitting the backspace button in a wiki page, sometimes the I.E. goes back and loose their changes. I could get a jquery popup but I don't know how to know that the wiki page is in edit mode and not in view mode.Do you know how/what
to check with javascript in order to know the mode of the page?
Thank you
ChristosJquery has a specific function that allows you to add this sort of thing to general SharePoint pages. I've not tried it in my own environment but some good useful starter information can be seen on a similar thread at Stack exchange.
See if this is of any use for you

I have been gettting this error message in safari for 4 days.
Any ideas? This is beyond frustrating. I haven't installed or downloaded anything in this time.
Thanks!Unless you have an application open like Microsoft Word and have made changes to some work you have done go up to file and SAVE then you can leave the page wwithout any problems. this message comes mostely when you are in a browser. Just leave the page.

AJAX Call make SP to show the "Are you sure you want to leave this page" dialog box
Hi all,
I have a problem while editing properties of a Page. We have a custom Content Types which includes a field with a custom type (and custom control). The Custom control includes an UpdatePanel. The control is a tree view, so each time we expand a node, there
is an AJAX call.
The control is displayed on the page on Edit Mode. When we use the control from Edit Mode, expanding each node result in displaying the dialog box to ask the user if he wants to leave or stay on the page.
When using the same control from the "Edit Properties" form, expending the nods works perfectly.
Also I couldn't reproduce the problem on FireFox, it only happens on IE.
Using fiddler I could see a difference between the Post requests depending on the above scenarios.
When using the custom Tree View from the Edit Page mode which result into the error, the POST request does not include the
x-microsoftajax: Delta=true
in the request header.
When using FF or the Tree View from the Edit Properties window, the above header is present and the dialog box is not shown.
Does anyone have an idea why I'm not having the the correct header with IE when using the control from Edit Mode?
Cheers,
Séb
Hi,
According to your post, an error occurred when you used Ajax in SharePoint.
Please do as follows:
1. Try to uncheck the Enable native XMLHTTP support option in IE's advanced options.
Go to Tool->Internet Options->Advanced and disable “Enable native XMLHTTP support”.
2. Use jQuery Ajax to call.

All of a sudden I am getting a pop up message that says, "do you want to leave this page or stay".
I have FF 28 and have for a long time, so that is not the problem. It is my default browser. I also have IE 10, W 7 and Avast. This problem just started a couple of weeks ago. Nothing on my pc has changed. I am trying to load an image, but it not working.
It is only happening on one site, but I have friends that it is happening to and they don't visit this site.
Would someone please tell me the danger of using an older version of Firefox. Is it going to blow up in my face, take all of my savings from the bank, What is the danger. I don't have anything personal on my PC, I even use an alias.
I like Firefox because of the apps like WOT, adblock plus, no squint, duckduckgo, Ghostery and being able to select colors for the toolbar that makes it easy to read.
The reason I don't want to upgrade: Let me count the reasons. The main reason is they try to force me to use their new versions. '''They upgrade my FF versions even though I have it set to never. ''' Because they fixed the tool bar so I can't condense it down to one line. and I know there is software that can fix that. When developers add new options why can't they leave the older options.
Also don't put me in the class of not trying new things. I bought my first PC in 1996 and replaced it every time a new OS came out because I wanted to learn it. I kept doing that until W 8 came out. I even bought a laptop so I could see what all the fuss was about. I did see. -
I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks
I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.

Given that the turn off javascript option will be disabled - how do I close a page that does not allow me to leave by giving a "are you sure you want to leave" pop up question but then redirects to itself where it again asks that question perpetually?
The only way to kill a page like that sofar was to disable javascript and then close the tab.
Now I will have to close the browser - and possibly loose all the tabs I have open.
I want a javascript quick switch - allowing me to easily disable javascript for any page at will.
(esp for some of my older, slower netbooks)
Or at least a "FORCE CLOSE" option for malicious webpages.Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.'' -
I bought a new Sony Vaio Laptop running Windows 8, 64bit, i7 processor. Everytime I open iTunes and then close out, the following message occurs: (i-tunes message - One or more applications are using the iTunes scripting interface. Are you sure you want to quit?) Then it starts counting down from 20 seconds unless I just click on the (Quit) button. How do I get this to stop? Please be specific, I am challenged when it comes down to computers.
Thank YouThis was extremely annoying for me, also. I started uninstalling unneeded Sony applications to try to narrow down the problem. It turned out not to be a Sony application... it is some functionality built into the bluetooth driver software package by Broadcom. Uninstalling the bluetooth package (via the control panel) takes care of the problem. Itunes also boots up way quicker. But uninstalling it will remove features related to bluetooth and nfc. For me, that isn't an issue, since I don't use them. Since you said you're "computer challenged" I would probably just send an email to sony complaining about the problem. They'll get in touch with Broadcom eventually (the manufacture of the drivers) and get the problem fixed.
Side note: the Broadcom package is huge... nearly 1GB in size. Which is crazy. I can't imagine what it does considering the size of it. Entire operating systems can take up less storage. Also, I have no idea how it starts an itunes plugin without placing it into the standard plugin directories. -
Every single time I launch Firefox 20 under Mac OS X 10.7.5 I get the click-thru warning message "'Firefox' is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?". How do I stop this? There are internet postings and previous postings about solving this using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a Firefox ONLY issue, and solving it by globally turning off OS X security features as recommended before in a previously closed thread seems like a really BAD solution. Is there a "Firefox only" solution, or will I just have to stop using Firefox?
I had upgraded to Firefox 20 using the automatic update process, so the last time I'd downloaded a .dmg and manually installed Firefox was a long time ago. I trashed Firefox 20, downloaded a new .dmg and manually transferred to Applications folder and this persistent message ended. I assume if I'd ever launched from the open .dmg the same error message would result, so the fix offered was a solution even though the cause was something different since I only used the automatic update process and never manually handled Firefox .dmg downloads.

I have used FireFox to play the Game Kingdoms Of Camelot, a facebook game. I also have Grease Monkey and a 3rd party add on. I leave it running 24/7 to gather food in the game for my army. It has run smoothly for 6 mo. Yesterday 2/04/11 in the morning it started asking for conformation when the page refreshed. i want to know how to stop this Box from comeing up it will not continue without refreshing and will not refresh untill th question is answered. It says "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page."
You're not going to stop it, and out here, what's illegal?
What it boils down to is a matter of ethics, and it's wrong. But the web
techies build this feature into their sites because they know somebody
is going to fly in off an engine like Google or MSN. And take something,
like a picture. Without stopping in and signing up or something else.
But what if I or you is out collecting stamps or avatars or wallpapers,
and have already taken a quiz, or signed up for a product? I've already
done that...but the site developers who use this ingenious(hijacking)
software don't see it that way, and don't care if you just got a computer
and want to pick up something here or there. Those sites don't get
anything when you visit and don't leave your number. I don't what
these 19 tracking cookies are for, do you?
