If a authorization or javascript alert/prompt/confirm window pops up while you're dragging a tab in tab-bar, you won't be able to perform a click in that window. Keyboard input works fine.

You can use this code to test this, just start dragging a tab and confirm will pop-up in 2 seconds.

<script language="JavaScript">
setTimeout(doIt,2000);
function doIt() { confirm("Blah"); }
</script>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start dragging a tab before alert/prompt/confirm/authorization window shows
Actual Results:  
unable to click anything

Expected Results:  
perform a click

tested on Windows Vista 64-bit with Firefox 3.0.8 and Windows XP 32-bit with Firefox 3.0.6

another way to test this would be if some site requested authorization and user/password auth window showed up and you happen to be dragging a tab at that time - that's how I discovered this bug.
Yes, this is a known problem.
