Details

If the Cancel button is pressed while entering Event metadata or Presenter data, a modal dialog box appears saying: Are you sure you want to cancel? There are two buttons: "Cancel" and "OK". It would be clearer if the buttons were labeled "No: and "Yes".
We can't control the words in the pop-up. It's a native pop-up of the browser. Aka. confirm dialog. What we can (and should) do is revise the sentence that we can control. Instead of "Are you sure you want to cancel?" we can phrase it differently. How about, "Discard changes without saving?" What do you think?
Sounds good.
I changed as per that agreement. I also improved it so that the dialog doesn't appear at all unless anything has changed. So if you use the Cancel button as an alternative to clicking Back you don't get the dialog at all. https://github.com/mozilla/airmozilla/commit/8e231648fbe0c8102c83ded171e27211fe009239
