1582242 - about:welcome Join modal should not dismiss when you click on the background

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Messaging System, defect, P1)

Description

[Aaron Benson]

Clicking outside of the Join Modal on about:welcome shouldn't close the modal. We should treat this like a traditional modal where the user must take action from the modal options itself. This would eliminate any errant clicks which dismiss the modal.

make sure the 'esc' key will also close the modal

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Small change enforcing modal behavior to be dismissed only on explicit click of 'Start Browsing' button or press of 'Esc' key

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible with the latest Firefox Nightly (71.0a1 Build ID - 20191006214844) installed, on Windows 10 x64, Arch Linux and Mac 10.14.5. Now, the "Join" modal is no longer dismissed when clicking outside the modal.
