User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8

If a page is set to call an alert on the 'onBlur' event in javascript, this will
be called if the focus of the application changes in windows. Upon returning to
Firefox, the box can be closed (older versions would not even allow the box to
be closed), but no more data can be input into the form.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load page listed above
2. change focus to another application (alert box will open in background)
3. close alert box, then try to select the field again. try to load any other
form and fill it out - firefox becomes unusable and must be restarted.
Actual Results:  
cannot select or input data in form fields, have to restart firefox.

Expected Results:  
alow the alert box to be closed and return application to normal operation.

Different behavior for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
first difference is that I have to close the alert box twice (it appears a
second time) after that I can not select any field until I change focus again to
another application and then back to firefox. After that everything works ok
