the Javascript Console shows me this message when triggering the bug:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.openDialog]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::

data: no]

worksforme in 1.5b2.  this seems to be a symptom of a larger issue where
javascript just loses its mind after a time and various things will just stop
working (buttons on web pages, etc), but that's not the same bug.
