When the webpayments dialog is active, the browser that opened the dialog should not be interactive. We have currently implemented the webpayments dialog as a window modal dialog, which should block other tabs/browsers within the same window from being interacted with. If we have a way to check if a given tab and its linked browser are showing a webpayments dialog, then we can prevent changing the selected tab or opening new tabs in that window.

After comparing the breakdown of window modal vs. tab modal, the current plan is to use a Tab Modal dialog since the level of effort is similar and tab modal is a much better UX.
