stay on page / leave page error

Hello   Mitchell Earl,

Assuming this means that you don't want to be asked if you're sure that you want to leave the page ;   would you do this please :

Type in the address bar   about:config   and press Enter.
(ignore the warning)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

dom.disable_beforeunload   and set its value to   true.

Then close and restart Firefox.

If this is not what you are talking about :   could you be a bit more specific, please ?

I'm still not sure what the problem is   (or was) ?

I just answered this and it went away. Ouch. Ok when I open Mozilla and go to my gmail account and sign in, after a minute or two this box pops up with " leave the page or stay on the page " error. I click stay , it goes away for about 20 seconds. It comes again and no matter how many times I click stay it comes back. finally it just leaves the page and goes back to my gmail sign in page. Now it just closes the page and goes to sign in again. Over and over.
