When using Facebook in Firefox (doesn't happen with IE), anytime I click to view previous comments to a post or to play an inbedded video, a question box appears asking "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page". Any ideas?

The problem occurs only with Firefox. Answering 'Yes' to the question box simply opens Facebook in another tab where the problem persists.

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.

Hi every time I navigate to a new page on facebook, I get the same confirmation message, Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page. What I want to know is how to stop this message

When I click on a navigation button, a message box appears asking if I am sure I want to navigate away from this page.

This issue can be caused by Facebook gadgets. 
You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit. 
If you added or updated gadgets recently then start with those.

How do I stop "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page." from comeing up. It is new. Just started doing it yesterday morning.

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?

every time i want to go to another page a pop up comes up with 'do you want to navigate away from this page'. For instance when i am on FB and i want to view a picture i am asked the question, also if i go to hotmail and want to go to the inbox the same question is asked. All i want to do is navigate away from pages without being asked EVERY single time. How can i switch it off

How do I stop the pop-up window in Facebook that asks "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page"

It recently started to ask this every time I do anything on Facebook.

Yes, this pop-up window in facebook is getting extremely annoying and most times after clicking on Ok, it will take me to a page totally opposite to where I wanted to go.
When I chat on the Scrabble Discussion Board I have to click Ok constantly with each post even though I am not navigating away from that page but merely replying to a post on the same original page.
It is not present on Chrome or IE 8, just on firefox, why?
Please remove, fix, or tell me how to disable this totally useless pop-up.

How can I get rid of that popup that keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to navigate away from the page I'm on?

I think my question is very clear. If I didn't want to go somewhere else, I would not have clicked on anything. I hate having to answer that question every single time I want to go to a different page.

When I use Firefox, if I want to move from one page to another, I get this: "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.", OK doesn't always take me to where I wanted to go.

Anytime I want to click on one page to move to another I get this question. Most of the time, it doesn't take me anywhere. I cleared everything. It didn't make a difference.

Why am I being asked "Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?" whenever I click a link?

basically I use firefox for facebook and whenever I click on like or any other link that usually just opens a scroll system, I get this question. Usually about 9 times out of 10

It did answer my question. However, how do I keep this from happening?

Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? I get this popup every minute. it's driving me crazy. How do i stop this from happening?

This popup happens for no apparent reason. I'll just be reading an article or checking my e-mail and it pops up all the time

Use '''Tools -> Options -> Advanced | General | Accessibility ''' Uncheck [x] warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page
* see [[Options window - Advanced panel]]
If that works, perhaps you will mark the problem as solved, if not post back with what problems remain; I may have misunderstood the exact problem.

This can be caused by Facebook gadgets. You can try removing Facebook gadgets until you find the culprit. I have seen reports of various gadgets causing this such as Ginga, Facebook for iGoogle, Deal of the Day and Smiley

How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

Try using this extension.
