I'm talking about a glitch while playing RuneScape on Firefox. What happens is that little box pops up and I can't [bleep]ing close it. In fact it appears like the entire instance of Firefox has frozen because all my other windows appear locked as well, though the RuneScape applet continues to function behind the window while I cannot interact with it.

 

I ask because this just happened to me while at tormented demons and I watched helplessly as my character was slaughtered for void and archer ring. Yes I managed to close it out and get back in time before the grave collapsed but geez that scared the crap out of me.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to fix it or at least a workaround such that I can at least teleport away when it happens?

 

Thanks :)

That happens to me sometimes when I use backspace to try and correct something I typed into the chat box and Firefox sees it as a navigation request. I just select "no", click in the screen somewhere (usually my inventory) and it's okay. I've never had it freeze completely on me though

Yeah actually I can purposely press backspace while the focus is not on the applet and that screen will pop up and I can close it out fine. It's just that sometimes it inexplicably pops up and locks up firefox. I have no idea why.

Here's a tutorial how to disable that.

I didn't know that. Thank you very much. :thumbsup:

I don't think me pressing backspace is what triggered it.

 

Nevertheless, thanks a million for helping me disable that. It's more annoying than useful.
