Details

Steps to reproduce:

Steps to reproduce on MacOS (Monterey 12.6.7)

  1. Install trusted CA certificate Authority (optional)
  2. Install client certificate
  3. Visit website that requires client certificate

See attached video (edit: bugzilla had issues when uploading the mp4, I've uploaded it to http://floyd.li/trigger-ui-freezes-nothing-clickable.mp4 ). In the video I do step 1. But actually it is not necessary, I can trigger the bug in the same way (but I have to click the "OK" button of the certificate request three times).

I can reproduce the issue with mozregression. The problem was introduced between:

Actual results:

Firefox displays an additional request dialogue (looks like a pop-under dialogue, the windows is slightly moved). Firefox is unusable/frozen as nothing is clickable anymore (can't dismiss the additional certificate request dialogue but can also not click anything else in the firefox window).

Expected results:

Firefox should connect to the website with the client certificate and let me dismiss the dialogue
