While the popup window is in focus no other event can be initiated: close tab, close browser..etc in order to exit the loop. Only recourse seems to be to kill the firefox session via task manager. Effectively the browser session is being "hijacked". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.bring up the "usmint.gov" webpage 2.click on "buy online" 3.set privacy options so that "confirn cookie setting" is requested Actual Results: webpage continuously generates cookie requests and it's impossible to exit since no other event can be triggered while the dialog has focus Expected Results: "confirm cookie setting" should allow exit from tab/page or "close tab" button should not be disabled problem does not occur with IE of course since the cookie managment options are not as robust......but this would be my "work around" since I do not want to perturb my firefox settings just to compensate for poor webpage coding
