When on www.nytimes.com, Firefox pop-up stating "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved." appears.

Starting this morning, whenever I click on a link on www.nytimes.com, a pop-up appears that says "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved." and requires that I either click "Stay on Page" or "Leave Page". I have never seen this before and it only seems to happen on www.nytimes.com. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how can I make it go away? Is there something that may have changed in Firefox Preferences with the most recent update? See attached screen shot.

It is the website that initiates this alert in case you have entered some data in a form or text area to would be lost.

If you really want to disable this notification then you can set this pref to true on the about:config page.

  • dom.disable_beforeunload = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Are you registered and logged in when you see that message when you logout?

Thanks cor-el! That solved the problem.

Does changing this in about:config affect all websites, or just NY Times'?

This is a global setting, so if you disable it via about:config (dom.disable_beforeunload) then you won't be alerted on other websites where it might be useful if you accidentally close the tab.
