User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

With multiple tabs open, when trying to connect to a site that require HTTP authentication (eg. Apache: .htaccess file restriction), if you attempt to move, arrange, or sort the tab before the authentication window pops up, you will lock up Firefox.  The authentication dialog will pop up, and user will be unable to enter any information in to it (eg username / password) and will not be able to close Firefox normally.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Works best, and easiest to reproduce if you clear your DNS cache, as the dns lookup takes a second or two, and that added time will allow you to attempt to move or re-arrange your tabs, to produce the lockup.
2. Open multiple tabs in Firefox (only 2 are needed, but you can have more)
3. Connect to site that requires HTTP authentication (Authentication provided in Apache via .htaccess files).
4. Before site fully loads, and before site prompts you for authentication credentials (ie username and password) attempt to move the tab to a new location on the tab bar.  
5. Voila! Firefox has now become locked, you cannot close firefox normally, you can not enter authentication information into the dialog box, nothing.
Actual Results:  
User is unable to enter credentials into HTTP authentication dialog, user is unable to close Firefox normally, no buttons are selectable.

Expected Results:  
Allowed user to enter authentication information, and continue on viewing the website.
