The first dialog does that. But when a second cookie is set, that dialog is not placed correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set mozilla ta ask before sotring a cookie 2. visit a site which sets at least 2 cookies, like http://nu.nl 3. deny the first cookie Actual Results: second dialog is not centered to the window Expected Results: dialog centered On my computer (linux running enlightenment), when the first dialogs pop's up, that dialog gets focus. When I close that dialog, focus is not returned to the browser. Now the second dialog pops up. The code for that dialog ask what te active window is, to use as parent for the dialog. As no window is active, the dialog has no parent, en thus is centered on the screen instead of the window. The problem in fixing this is that I don't know of a way to as via nsIPrompt for eaither the parent of that prompt, or to open a dialog with custum xul. So I see 3 options: 1. Make it possible to ask the parent via nsIPrompt 2. Make DoDialog accessible via idl 3. From the networking lib, instead of passing aPrompter, pass aParent to the cookie library.

Ever confirmed: true
I will try to do this myself.
Michiel, did you mean to assign the bug to yourself?
Yes, I ment that. I have already tried some things. I have a patch for option 2 (not complete checked and commented) But I would want to know which options is the best. I can see there are some other compontents involved.
Michiel, without looking into this in much more detail, I have no idea which of your suggestions would be best. But I would imagine that the best thing would be to find out why the browser did not get focus returned to it after the first dialog window was dismissed.
It seems to be a windowmanager issue. I tried it with openbox instead of enlightenment, and it works as expected. The main windows gets focus before the second dialog appears, and the dialog is plced correctly.
