I believe if you look in tools/options there should be an option there to toggle off the notification to navigate away from the page you are on. There might even be that toggle on the notification itself (The "do not ask me this again" option)

This issue can be caused by one of the gadgets (Smiley?) on the Facebook page.
You will have to check that out by removing each of them until you find the culprit.
If you added or updated gadgets recently than start with those.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  2. Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_18 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
