Firefoxe freezes, when the "Cookie confirmation dialog" is popping up while the "Save As..." dialog is open: Neither of the buttons in any of the both windows are clickable, and Firefox requires to be killed forcefully. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the Cookie confirmation to "Ask"
2. Open any webpage that wants to set a cookie (typically ANY commercial site with counters at *.ivwbox.com)
3. Open another tab and try to save any link in there via "Save as..."
4. Leave the "Save as..." dialog open until a Cookie confirmation dialog from the other tab pops up.
-> This creates the above described condition: Neither of the dialog can be closed anymore.
Actual Results:  
Firefox freezes

Expected Results:  
The software should allow to click any button of the open dialogs.

none

Since this is on the 1.9.0 branch, it's actually a dup of bug 436473.
