From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000613
BuildID:    20000613111

Probable race condition leads to a situation when Java Script displays a Message
Box that can't be reached by user, original page is also inaccessible - have to
kill Mozilla

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open page http://www.mozilla.org/binaries.html
2. Find 'Download Latest Build' link under 'Nightly Builds'
3. Now the step is a little tricky to reproduce:
right-click the link and hold down rigth mouse button
now release it and quickly click "Open link in New Window" with left mouse button
(sometimes, if you are not quick enough, or if you select menu with right mouse,
everything is fine)	

Actual Results:  Message box "are you sure you want this?" appears, and new page
is opened.
After this message box loses focus and can't be reached, closed etc.
Original page can't be closed too.

Expected Results:  Message box that can be closed.

this appears to be working fine in current builds.  Please download the latest
M18 nightly builds and reopen if you still see this behavior.  Thanks.
