551966 - Using middle-click or the context menu to close a tab, the content remains and no tab is selected

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Daniel de Wildt]

It is possible to close a tab, but without terminating the html-session.
The page-content is still shown. (Tested with FF 3.5 & 3.6)

Reproduce:
* Enable javascript
* Open tab one with some content.
* Open tab second and go to the URL https://www.commerzbanking.de/
* Enter one digit in the field 'Anmeldename' (in the upper-right, below 'Online Banking')
* Close the second tab with a middle mouse-click.

Result:
* a modal (javascript) dialog appears with a warning that you entered a wrong username.
* If you close that dialog, the tab is closed, but the page content is still shown.

Expected:
* No modal dialog and a closed tab, showing the previous tab.

Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2pre) Gecko/20100311 Namoroka/3.6.2pre ID:20100311033849

Running the same steps in Shiretoko results in a complete freeze for me. After the modal dialog has been confirmed twice it stays open blank. Nothing can be clicked anymore and the user is forced to restart the browser.

I can't reproduce. Do you still see this?  If not, please close.

It's possible to close the tab without any problems.
