Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61098

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When a JavaScript alert() is "active" (user didn't click OK yet) Firefox does
not allow the page or browser to be closed. The same problem may apply to
confirm() and prompt().

This can be very annoying on certain "tease" websites, which produce one alert
after another. This is the case on for example
http://users.skynet.be/goudou/blotevrouw.html

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open the page
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
/

Expected Results:  
Firefox should enable the closing of a tab or window, even while an alert is
unanswered.
