2.Attempt to access the parent window.
3.Either type in a text field, or use the mouse.

The parent window was accessible, as if the applet were not modal.

The parent window should not be accessible, while the modal window is open.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
