Details

So if you enter this link: > http://www.updtrservice.com/firefox/?clickid=w7MTO08HFLFM2BH9124l4LVS&language=de You will get bombarded with modal messages, making it impossible to get out of the loop. The only way I found is too kill of the firefox process in taskmanger. Seriously I don't even understand why firefox allows websites to trigger modal messages. They block the whole UI of firefox which is a no-go IMO. Software seems to move away from Modal Windows in general, maybe that is something to consider in modern software developement...
This website is using the repost prompt to lock up the browser, so I'd say this is a dupe of bug 1412559, though of course there's also the window modal auth prompt to consider. The problem on that specific site would definitely get fixed with bug 1412559.

Yep, same issue, as in bug #1412559, so I'm marking this as dupe.
