Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?

I believe this annoying pop-up is generated by the JavaScript OnBeforeUnload() event. There have been a number of Firefox users on Mozillazine complaining about it. Other than killing all JavaScript on the site, would it make sense to provide an option in NS to ignore the event for all sites?

Good find.
(I wonder why someone else didn't recall that

.)
And it still works.

Test page:

(Enable JavaScript), open link in new window, click the (window) Close button.

Like this, onbeforeunload Demo ?
