Can I have Firefox ask before closing the window if I hit Ctrl-W by accident.

When filling out forms in the browser I sometimes accidentally hit Ctrl-w to muscle memory. The ctrl-w is a function of writing in another program I use. When I hit Ctrl-w window close without warning and I can potentially use an hour of work.

Is it possible to configure firefox, then it will appear a confirmation box when I click the Ctrl-w warning me that the browser window closes.

It's a safety device great for touch typist who sometimes moves too fast.

Thank you.

I thing the warning appears only when you have 2 or more tabs open in the same window if the checkbox is checked in the Options (warn me when closing multiple tabs).

With a single tab, I fear that it is not possible to be warned: in Firefox, CTRL + W closed the tab current, different from CTRL + SHIFT + W (or ALT + F4) to close the active window.

If this shortcut is really a problem for you, you may replace it with an add-on like customizable shortcuts.

  • Trigger Javascript before closing the window of the browser of CP8

    I'm afraid that this is not possible, but here... any help would be amazing.

    We recently gave me some good advice on how to trigger a Javascript action in our LMS that the Captivate file plays in the framework.

    It works perfectly and on the last page triggers the Javascript code which send its use date back to the LMS and transfer the user to a page that allows them to evaluate the course.

    The code was as follows:

    top.code.closeSCOContent ();

    closeSCOContent() there's something written in our LMS.

    However the obvious problem occurs when a user closes the browser window just and for some reason our LMS doesn't save any bookmarking or any data.

    The only way, it seems to do it if this function is called.

    So using the window.onunload () or the DOFinish; is there a way I can edit any file in Captivate output to trigger this function when the browser is closed?

    Long shot I know, but currently the best that I got is get the course for this trigger as soon as it loads rather than close the window?

    Huge thanks in advance for any advice.

  • How can you get firefox to work with the windows subst command locally?

    I want to test my Web site locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my site. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the different available to firefox) but does not work with Firefox. All images, sheets, styles and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (.. /.. / for example) to the objects that they works very well.

    How can I view web pages locally by using a path root of Web site?

    Firefox does not allow access to local files.

    It is always best to use relative addressing.

  • I have to pause before closing? (Fusion 7 Mac)

    Hi all

    I always manually suspend my VM before closing the window and Fusion to quit (Mac 7/Mavericks).  Is this necessary, or can I just close the window (which seems to automatically suspend)?

    Thank you

    Ivan

    You close the window, and it will work as you desire. Automatically suspend the virtual machine is the default setting, but you have the choice:

    * Go to the VMware Fusion menu and select Preferences...

    * Click on the general icon.

    * Choose "suspend the virtual machine' (default) or"switch the virtual machine' (which can cause the virtual machine to stop).

    You can also decide if you want that VMware Fusion to show a before confirmation dialog box it closes a window of the VM.

    Confirmation is useful if you have a tendency to close the windows with the command-W. Sometimes the VM itself was the focus of the mouse instead of a small window running in your virtual machine. Accidentally, you suspend the VM together instead of closing a window inside the virtual machine. Happens to me when I run several virtual machines using the full screen, flipping between screens with the trackpad, and then I type the command-W without clicking first inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine is suspended. The parameter "Confirm before closing" gives a first warning.

    I let the disabled in any case, Confirmation setting to speed up when I really want to close these VMs.  :-)

  • In the previous version of Firefox, I could close the window and still have my tabs intact when I reopened it. Why 4 FF closes all tabs and does not give me an option to save? (And if so, where can I change the parameter?)

    In the previous version of Firefox, before closing a window with tabs open, he asked if I would "save and close", "close all tabs" or "Cancel". FF4 comes to warn me that I am fill these tabs and wonder is I want to continue, without giving the option to save my search for later use.

  • TAB GROUPS die after closing the window, restoration of session does not apply and neither is history! I do not think that I have been warned!

    On leaving firefox, update, then restart, I lost the ability to restore sessions. I restored the Group of tabs in the past; It's different. My tab groups are lost forever and I don't remember even be warned about losing when the window is closed (as often happens and then I avoid close it.)

    I sync my tab groups, but she must have sync'd their disappearance because I lost. Tab groups really should have always been separate from the window (as a form of records) - I don't know why I found myself never adopt this powerful feature knowing how bad it has been supported. I had actually named groupings with 2dont reading lists etc... the year value of groups... and I shared it between devices...

    In fact, I watched the sessionstore.js file, it seemed ok - I do javascript professionally. I think I can close this because there seems to be a lack of functionality/design of browser that we can solve a problem. my other computer did the same thing with clamping my tab groups and the closure of the window... it's a "feature" not a bug. I thought that maybe someone knew something that I do not have as to why this is so wrong.

    I'll just have to live with attention restore or restore backups the sessionstore.js if for some reason, he gets lost. Including me accidentally close the window and press on enter without thinking (Yes, I get that I can restore; but the problem is that I wouldn't restore groups of tabs because they are so easily killed in multiple ways.)

  • Plugin WindowsForms without closing before closing the Acrobat window

    I have a plugin that I build that opens a Windows form, allows the user control some things and do some calculations and then to send a block of text to the PDF document.

    The problem is that if the user does not close the Windows Form before closing the main acrobat window, the program will crash because of a violation of read access to a location memory.  The problem does not occur if the windows form is closed in the first place and then the main acrobat window is closed.

    i.e.

    1. the user opens a document

    2. the user starts the shape of the window using the plugin

    3 user performs some work using the document and the windows

    4. the user is done so they close the acrobat window

    5. the user sees that the windows form is still open and close.

    6. the error occurs

    I create the windows form using Application::Run (gcnew Form1());

    In the windows form, I added this function:

    public: static void ExitCalc(){
    Application::Exit();
    }

    This function is called in the .cpp file that generates the drop as part of the PluginUnload, but the problem remains.

    I need to close the windows form object before the closure of the acrobat window.

    Thanks for the help.

    There is a notification that you can apply when a document is closing (and many others too!).   Check the documentation for more information about the notifications.

  • Will be "immediately stopped" RAS redologs to archivelogs before closing the db?

    Hi guys,.

    I have a question that I want to erase and I hope Oracle gurus here can help me out with what I don't have freedom "immediately" to test the scenerio.

    When I run the command to stop, do a journal command before closing the database? Or do we have to do it manually before shutdown? I want to make sure I'm not losing last operations when a restore of database on a different server.

    -MM

    Published by: UserMM on October 15, 2008 09:04

    No, a STOP (whether IMMEDIATE or NORMAL) does NOT cause a switch of log of the last file Log of Redo ("CURENT"). At the start of the instance, Oracle continues with the same log file in the CURRENT file.

    Allows you to encode a Shutdown trigger to force a log switch, or to write a wrapper program to run the SQL command ("ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE"). However, as you will need to run the ALTER SYSTEM before, all actions (restoration of transactions that an immediate stop) closing would still be in the CURRENT journal of again after the switch.

    What you could do is to:
    a. immediate stop
    b. startup restrict
    c. ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE
    d. Normal or immediate stop

    These could be "merged" within a script.

  • How can I get FireFox to work on the first Google ChromeBook addition? He repeats to me upgrade and when I do it says does not support?

    How can I get FireFox to work on the first version of the Google ChromeBook? Everytime I open it it said to update or upgrade to FireFox and make it your main page. So I downloaded it and it's open once it is installed, but then a message appears that says "can't stand" search for an application that supports FireFox and its software, or something of the sort. I was sitting here with a full battery when I started and now it is dead... and I still don't have FireFox on my ChromeBook.

    What do I do now or how do I get it to work? And if it just simply won't work on a CHromeBook then they need to have that riht out in the open.
    

    Hello

    I had a peek in this and was informed that Firefox does not work on Chrome OS.

    It is designed and done a little differently from the likes of Windows and Linux and will not support another browser being installed.
