User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3

If an authentication dialog appears while you are drag-reordering a tab, it becomes impossible to focus the dialog, and because the dialog is modal it also becomes impossible to focus anything else.  Therefore Firefox stops responding and the process must be closed manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with at least two tabs
2. In one tab, start loading a page which requires HTTP basic authentication (username,password)
3. Just before the authentication window appears, start drag-reordering a tab
Actual Results:  
Authentication dialog appears, and can't be focused.  Nothing else can be focused either, requiring the process to be shut down manually.

Expected Results:  
Authentication dialog appears and since it is modal, gains focus.
Also confirmed on latest nightly: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060626 BonEcho/2.0a3

Browser also stops responding if dragging a bookmark around on the bookmark toolbar when the authentication dialog appears.
Sounds like bug 100180 to me.
