dialogs should be always on top or child windows to the main window, and should not block focus from the main window.  This happens with javascript dialogs and errors (unsupported protocol, etc).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to javascript:while(1){alert("modal dialog")}

Actual Results:  
it is impossible to close the tab while the dialog is open, so you have to push enter and close the tab before it can make a new one.

Expected Results:  
I should've been able to click the X on the tab to close it.  Ideally this would be an option in the preferences under content>javascript>advanced>block modal dialogs
