I was dragging the little icon next to the URL into my open bookmarks sidebar when the standard username/password dialogue popped up from a website that was loading in a background tab.  The icon graphic froze itself where I was last dragging it, and I could not type into or dismiss the password dialogue box.  Could only force-close firefox through task manager.

Reproducible: Didn't try

So this bug has been around for 8 years, with 39 duplicate submissions, and still hasn't been fixed?  This isn't even that minor of a bug, it completely seizes firefox......  What is the dev team doing?
