Suddendly the cookie confirmation window appeared (as I setup it to do so) and the browser was totally blocked (see details). Trying things like Ctrl +W... I found that opening a new Broser and then right click+close in the Windows(r) toolbar was the only way to close all Mozilla windows. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set cookie preferences to "warn" 2. Be sure to have at least a folder a cookie inside your bookmarks 3. open a page 4. in a second tab open a second page that needs cookie confirmation 5. BEFORE the confirmation window for cookie appears click on your bookmar icon in the Mozilla toolbar and move one of your bookmark 6. When the cookie window appears, the browser is blocked Actual Results: Unable to click anywhere; Unable to close the confirmation cookie window Unable to close the browser Unable to close with Ctrl+W or right click+close in the Windows bar Expected Results: I should have been able to confirm (or infirm) my decision in the cookie confirmation window instead of being blocked.

When you say move I assume you mean drag and drop? If so, it sounds like D&D should be somehow preventing other modal event loops being pushed while it's active or something....
Welcome to my oldest still open bug, bug 14716. I'm not closing this as a duplicate because that one doesn't mention modality and because the consequences described here are worse, but it's the same bug. This is a tough one. A proper fix has eluded us for years.
Depends on: 14716

The other way to fix this is to make window deactivation kill capturing and other stateful operations. On Windows the WM_CANCELMODE message is provided for this purpose. Needless to say we ignore it, which causes e.g. bug 97014.
