Firefox 7: custom exit confimation message not working

[kohkindachi]

Hey guys these code below works on chrome and IE and the older version of FF. But not working on the latest (firefox is showing their own alert instead)....can something be done?


<script language="JavaScript">
var allowConfirm = true;
window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
function confirmExit()
{
if(allowConfirm)
return "You're about to be redirected"+ '\n'+ "IF this is UNIntentional --- Kindly click [CANCEL]/[Stay on Page]";
else
allowConfirm = true;
}
</script>

lol. That's the reason for me to be posting here. That's their DEFAULT message not my customize message. Did you read the code bro :)

My apologies if I missed your point but there's no good in you being sarcastic when you're asking for assistance.

Anyway, please read the specs. It's mentioned there:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onbeforeunload



Note that in Firefox 4 and later the returned string is not displayed to the user. See Bug 588292.
