393466 - Modal dialogue stripped and presented in new Window after session restore

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect, P4)

Description

[Bret Reckard]

Attachment: Modal Before

FFx Version:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081704
Minefield/3.0a8pre

In Reference to Bug 393343 and 391777.  After quitting the browser and
restoring the session (to break modal dialogue hang), the previously hung 
modal dialogue is stripped off the original Yahoo Mail page and is 
presented in a new browser window See Attached image "New Close Window".  
This seems odd.  

See Modal Before and Model After images

Er, forget the "New Close Window" attachment part. Modal Before and Modal After display the result.

hmm, I guess this is using showModalDialog?  I wonder if the right thing is to just not restore modal content windows, since the state is probably not restored to the point where the modal dialog even makes sense to restore...

Fixing bug 368677 (which is also marked as a blocker) would "fix" this bug too.

Not going to continue to block on this.  If you disagree with this decision, please renominate with reasons why we can't ship with this in final

Mass-removing myself from cc; search for 12b9dfe4-ece3-40dc-8d23-60e179f64ac1 or any reasonable part thereof, to mass-delete these notifications (and sorry!)

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
