User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. some site opened an ad in new tab.
url: https://helperinfoextt.biz/ff?_subid=1r0n1d446h49sc15msl&_token=uuid_1r0n1d446h49sc15msl_1r0n1d446h49sc15msl5a49040403bbd1.28196564



Actual results:

1. Firefox went into full screen mode(with out permission)
asked me to install a plugin (image-001).
2. i pressed escape to get out of full screen. a confirm message came giving me two options. Resend and cancel.
3.1. resend goes to full screen mode and again ask me to install the plugin
3.2. cancel throws the same confirm messages again

my mouse movement were tracked, keyboard keys were blocked, was not able to use console because of this

I was unable to change tab, unable to close tab, have to shut down firefox
this happened second time this week.



Expected results:

1. I should be able to block all future confirm/alert boxes
2. i should be able to close tab

This is already fixed in version 58, which will be released in a few weeks. In the meantime, you could consider running it as it's currently on beta. (https://beta.mozilla.org/ )
