This is the Firefox for iOS version of bug 791594 since it will certainly need its own fix

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #791594 +++

Demo: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/authspoof/

You show a window-modal HTTP auth prompt visually tied to a particular tab before updating the address bar. This can have bad consequences when somebody navigates a trustworthy window to a malicious location. This seems rather undesirable.

Possible fix: update the address bar and hide the original document before showing the prompt?
