When you want to get away from programming Java...
Wow, what week, Just curious to know, what do others do to wind-down or get away from programming? PC Games, reading, outdoor stuff? Myself, I am interested in purchasing either NeverWinter Nights or WarCraft III as another way to make "computers fun" again...
(Plus, any PC Game suggestions are welcomed.)
Thanks for reading this post!

If you're into RPG's, my favorite is Wizardry 8. Great plot, characters, and world. Dated graphics. I do like having a full party and 1st person perspective. I've been playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto (Vice City)--sort of a first person driver/shooter with RPG elements.

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

everytime I go to leave a page or click on something this, this message appears and I cant find where to disable it. It just started today. Never did it before.
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?

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?

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

When I am using facebook, Every thing I click on I get a pop up message asking if I want to navagate away from this page.. yes or cancel. This is very annoying. How do I turn off this message?
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. -

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.

This happens most of the time. Sometimes if I catch the page before its completely loaded it won't do it, but this is getting very annoying. I uploaded some photos, it took me an hour to do so, and then it took me another 30 minutes just to get to post a caption to just one of them because of this issue. This only started about 3 weeks ago. I haven't done anything different. Any suggestions?
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

When I open a attachment from an email a box always pops up that says what program do i want to open this document with. How do i get rid of this pop up box?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

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 <br />''' 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. -
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.

Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"
See "Firefox connection settings":

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?
