How to disable popup "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab"?
I am trying to open a web application in MS Edge in IE compatibility mode. Everytime I launch the application, a popup comes saying "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab. Do you want to close this tab?"
Application works fine after clicking "Yes".
The popup is not generated if I launch the same application on Internet Explorer.
Is there a setting in Edge to disable this popup?

Gurmeet0107 Can you confirm if these repro steps are similar to your scenario?
- Start with a tab that is loading in "MS Edge mode" (non-IE mode tab)
- Execute a window.open() call to a site that will load in IE mode
- The new window does show to be loading in IE mode
- In this new IE mode window execute a window.close() call
- After code is run users will see the prompt
The scenario works as expected with no prompting in following scenarios:
- In standalone IE11.
- If both windows for above repro load in "MS Edge mode" (non-IE mode tabs).
- If both windows for above repro load in IE mode.
