Steps to reproduce:

Create a small CGI script with this content:
---- snip ----
#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8"
echo "Status: 401 Unauthorized"
echo "WWW-Authenticate: Basic"
echo
echo '<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL="></head></html>'
---- snap ----
Navigate to it. 


Actual results:

Basic Auth form is shown and even with "Okay" or "Cancel" you can't close it. Now try to close browser or tab.



Expected results:

Basic auth form should not be modal, so the user can close tab or browser
