Accidentally closing the browser tab of the signing session

When a signer accidentally closes the browser tab of his signing session or navigates to another URL before he has finished, a native, browser-specific confirmation dialog is displayed, asking if the signer wants to leave the current page.

Example of native confirmation dialog in Google Chrome browser:


The confirmation dialog is also displayed when a signer reloads the current page via refresh button/icon of the browser.

The confirmation dialog is not supported in all browsers the same way:

  • Google Chrome

    The confirmation is only triggered when the user has interacted with the page before.

  • Microsoft Edge

    The confirmation is only triggered when the user has interacted with the page before.

  • Mozilla Firefox

    The behavior can be configured with about:config.

    Default is:



  • Internet Explorer

    The confirmation is triggered without user interaction on page.

  • Safari iOS

    Not supported.
