Frequently, when I click on a link, try to return to the previous screen or close a tab, an option box comes up that requires a choice rather than simply doing whatever was originally requested. How can these option boxes be prevented?
Frequently, when I click on a link, an option box will pop up asking whether to open in a new tab or new window and several other options, rather than simply opening in the same window or tab. When I try to return to the previous screen, it often will not let me, or provides options that I do not want. When I try to close a tab, an option box comes up that has several choices that I do not want and "close tab" at the bottom of the box. How to prevent these option boxes from popping up?

Turn of JavaScript. These are "per site" and generated by the site. They are not the normal function of the browser. This usually occurs on attack sites. I'd stay away from them.
The only "trusted" site I ever saw do something like this is Google, which asks me if I'm sure I want to close the tab that has their search results. I really pisses me off, but I have yet to find a way to stop it.
It is certainly bad coding behavior on the part of whomever designed the site. When a user clicks an action, it should be presumed, unless the action is potentially very destructive, that they intended to perform that action. A UI should never incessantly second guess the intentions of a user.
It also happens frequently on my e-mail website, powered by Google, including not allowing me to delete my daily calendar list of activities e-mail without first going back to the inbox, clicking on that calendar message and then successfully delete it.
