So the dialog is modal, which is why the content window can't be focused. I would say it's your fault and you should change your code to call openUILinkIn after the modal dialog is closed.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please reply if you can still reproduce this bug with Firefox 3.5.3 or later in a new profile with the latest plugins (flash, quicktime, java, etc.).

Reading the initial comment and the answer from Nickolay I tend to mark this bug as invalid. You should check the return code of the dialog in the code which calls the dialog and use the openUILinkIn call there depending on the return value.

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

Actually, re-reading this bug, I think that the issue described in summary is indeed invalid, while the issue described in comment 0 (openUILinkIn not working) might be valid, but in either case it probably won't see any action without someone interested in patching it. So unless someone wants to argue this resolution, let it be invalid..

Neil, could you please quickly cross-check if this bug is invalid for sure or not?
