254547 - mouse-freeze Firefox: move bookmark while waiting for login/password-dialog

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Egon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

While waiting for a slow password protected site I decided to rearrange the
bookmarks toolbar. When the login/password-dialog came up, I first believed all
input was blocked.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Reproducibil every time, if you are fast enough or the website is slow enough:

1. Access a site which is password protected and,
2. while waiting for the login/password-dialog to open,
3. move a bookmark inside the bookmarks toolbar. 
Actual Results:  
When the login/password-dialog appears, the login/password-dialog is blocked for
any mouse click, but the keyboard still works.
After using the TAB-key to press OK the moved bookmark is opened.
The bookmark move is correctly undone.

Expected Results:  
Accept mouse clicks and open the password-protected site.

I did not use the installation of Firefox 0.9.3, because the right slider was
missing and I had an error output below the status bar, after I installed 0.9.3
(English) over 0.9.2 (German/googlebar/optimoz mouse gestures/flash/shockwave). 

Since I did not see a commend if it is necessary to uninstall 0.9.2 before, this
might be a bug, too.

Firefox 2.0.0.4 and 1.5.0.12, still Reproducible: Always (if you have time to start dragging the bookmark)
1. Access a site which is password protected and,
2. while waiting for the login/password-dialog to open,
3. move a bookmark inside the bookmarks toolbar.
Detail on step 3: Do not drop the bookmark before the login/password-dialog comes up.
Same results as initially reported with both versions:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070508 Firefox/1.5.0.12
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
