After updating to 1.0.5 via xpi from 1.0.4, I still got the spoof dialog popup. So I uninstalled and re-installed 1.0.5 from scratch (exe). Same result. Reproducible: Always
We can't stop the dialog from popping up -- there's no AI in the world that can correctly distinguish legit from spoof dialogs. What we did do is put the host name in the title so a user can tell that it comes from a different site. Raising the minimum size of the small window would have helped keep it from hiding behind the prompt, maybe we'll do that too in Deer Park.
