Yes, Gilles, it means to quite tha page you are currently on (or whatever it is) and go somewhere else — if you haven't saved them, any changes will be lost.
They couldn't say literally 'quit' or 'exit', as you are of course not going to actually completely close your browser application — but the idea is of course similar.

Thanks, Sheri! As indeed I've jjust noticed you had already said in the discussion area... / Why thanks, Sheri! I have been accused of many things, but rarely lucidity :-))

: The use of "navigate" strongly indicates that we are dealing with a website, and here opening a new website in the current tab/window occurs in my opinion much more often than "quitting" or closing the browser window/tab.

Thanks, Adrian! My point exactly! On things like facebook, for example, if you haven't completed your post, it asks you if you wish to leave the page or not.

: Of course the idea is right — but this would be misleading, since they are clearly not going to actually quit / exit their entire browser.
