Description

[Christopher B.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Sometimes the Certificate Viewer window opens on an HTTPS-request but it doesn't
appear. I'm unable to get the Focus on it (but it has an entry in the
"Window"-Menu) 
While the certificate-viewer is open, i can't do any request.
When I close Mozilla, i get an alert, that one window is still open. Then the
certificate viewer appears.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open more than 1 browser-tab
2. request a HTTPS website

Actual Results:  
the certificate viewer-window appears not always.

reporter could you do :
 1) Try with a newer version of mozilla (one of the nightlies).
 2) give us an URL where this happens.

reporter: fwiw i would not use Mozilla 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.1.y.
please indicate the version of Mac OS X on your computer.

My version of MacOSX is 10.2.6...

...sorry, but i can't give any URL's cause these are closed intranets with
special accounts...

Just try a website which requires a login and uses https...

I'll download a newer version of mozilla and check if the error persists...

Marking this dup of bug 238728 since there's a better description and test case there.
