When I want to see options dialog, and I want to get back to web page (for example to report bug into bugzilla about options dialog), I have to open new window and open options there, so it does lock only the new window, and I can browse in the old one.

I generally don't like modal dialogs at all, I think they should be avoided as much as possible (always).

As the options dialog can be viewed in non-modal way by the work-around hereabove described, why is it set to be modal?

Reproducible: Always
