Quite frequently while surfing on the web and I go to leave the page I'm on I get this pesky little window that asks me if I'm sure I want to leave this page. How can I keep this thing from popping up because in most cases I have to click on this thine 50 times before I'm able to leave the page. It's very, very annoying.

You can try a bookmarklet like this: 

javascript:void(document.onbeforeunload=null);void(document.onunload=null);void(window.onbeforeunload=null);void(window.onunload=null);

JavaScript code can't be run from the location bar anymore, so you need to create a bookmark with the code pasted in the location field.

Sorry, but I'm not very knowledgeable, I don't understand your message or how this can keep the message from popping up.
