Fixes this bug by using a setTimeout to call the function that uses the prompt
service thereby allowing the context menu to be finish. Not sure if an sr is
required for this patch so info regarding this is appreciated. Thanks

This is a dupe of bug 262031 and there must be a better way to resolve this
without a setTimeout
