Sometimes the website will show an alert box akin to "Are you sure you want to leave?" when you try to leave the site.

Is it possible to disable this from happening, without using something like the NoScript extension?

Tools > Page Info [Permissions] will let you set the permissions for a particular page/site.

On the Open Pop-up Windows setting, clear the "Use Default" check-box, and set Block

If that's not enough, you may be able to use a GreaseMonkey script, but without knowing which web-site, no-one here will be able to tell you how.

Not limited to Firefox, with ClickOff you can get rid of any annoying popup, on a Windows system.
