User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

On occassion when I click on a download link the box that pops up (asking
whether to save file to disk, open with etc) freezes with the OK button grayed
out. Cancel or hitting x doesn't work. I have to close Firefox through
Taskmanager (right clicking on Window button at bottom doesn't work either). The
same thing often happens with javascript popups, the OK button is greyed out and
I have to close through task manager. Also with the password dialog box
(remember this password? yes No Never) all buttons are active (you can press
them and they move) but don't do anything. This happens four or five times a
week and I use the internet about an hour a day at most. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to website
2.Enter password details For the first time/download Something/make a mistake on
a form that uses javascript popups to tell u about mistakes


Actual Results:  
Couldn't use firefox without clicking OK/save disk/yes/no. Couldn't click yes/no
etc or close popup Use task Manager to close firefox

Expected Results:  
Allowed me to answer the question asked or press cancel to ignore the
question(download manager or password manager). Allowed me to click ok and fix a
problem on a form (javascript popup error).

Windows 2000 prof SP4 Image Zoom plugin.

I neglected to mention when reporting this bug that the same thing happens with
the 'close multiple tabs' warning and also when trying to install extensions and
such from mozilla.org. In both cases the OK or Install button is greyed out.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
