Some times i'll be trying to close a tab and I get a popup asking me if I really want to leave the page. How can I block this?

You can double-click the dom.disable_beforeunload pref on the about:config page to change its value to true.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
