Description

[Robert Buffel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When lauching Firefox 1.0 on Mac OS X Panther and immediately minimizing the
main window to the dock and choosing "About Mozilla Firefox" from the Firefox
menu, the about dialog never appears and the Firefox menu remains hilighted even
after maximizing the main window into view.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Minimize the Main Window to the Dock
3. Choose "About Mozilla Firefox"

Actual Results:  
The about box did not appear and the File menu remained hilighted.

Expected Results:  
The about box should appear and the File menu should d-hilight.

No crash - no real problem - just unexpected behavior.

This should be resolved if bug 222364
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222364) is ever taken care of.

The about box shouldn't be a sheet, but instead it should be a separate
non-modal window, per the guidelines.

Duping against the Core bug.
