Turn Off - “prevent this page from creating additional dialogs”

How do I turn off the Firefox feature “prevent this page from creating additional dialogs”?

I get this problem, when I open more than one confirm box(dialog).

Is it possible to prevent this feature via Javascript?

This is a browser feature and is intended to protect the user. If you could turn it off, all those sites spamming users with dialogs would have a way to stop it.

So in short, no.

Make your application work with it, instead of against it. Don't rely on dialogs/confirmations too much, rather have a modal-box ask the questions; it is pretty too :)

Finally the issue is solved :) , developer need some attention before calling any alert or confirm messages in chrome or firefox. The alert or confirm box will display 1.5 sec delay.

    function chromeTimeDelay(){
        if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") > 0){
            var d =e = new Date();
            while(d.getTime()<(e.getTime()+1500)){
            d = new Date();
            }
        }
    }



    function dontdisplaycheckbox(){
      for(var i=0;i<=10;i++){
      chromeTimeDelay();
      alert("abcdefgh");
    }

}

To my knowledge, there is no way to disable it. Alert boxes are obtrusive, and at least in Firefox - can steal focus even from other tabs.

A simple workaround is to use an HTML based modal dialog - this will also give you full control over the dialog, its design (across browsers and operating systems), its buttons, behavior of the rest of the page, etc.

Open about:config then change the pref dom.successive_dialog_time_limit

Of course this only works for your own browser, you can't change it for other people.
