It's too bad some sites abuse this scripting feature. In many cases, it can prevent you from losing data in a form that's partially filled in but not submitted.
Firefox has an on/off switch that can't distinguish between good and bad uses. If you want to block all dialogs linked to the "before unload" event, here's how you can do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste unload and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the dom.disable_beforeunload preference to switch it from false (sites can use it) to true (sites cannot use it)
Then you can test where you had a problem to see whether that works around it. Success?
