317414 - (blank_confirm_dialog) rare non-repeatable blank confirm dialog

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alexander E Genaud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

In some non-repeatable cases, I have seen a blank dialog popup (only OK/Cancel). This is often (always?) followed by the "script on page...slow...do you want to continue?" dialog a few seconds later.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
Sorry, infrequent, and in different places. Though I've only seen it in the FF1.5 Release candidates, not in beta.

Actual Results:  
blank confirmation dialog (no message).

Expected Results:  
Some error message with the OK/Cancel buttons

Well, assuming that it is unreproducible, and does not longer happen. Please reopen if it happen in Firefox 3.5 or later in a new profile (although how you will get it to reproduce I don't know :)
