509226 - When I access a site that will give me a security warning and drag a bookmark from my bookmark toolbar to the tab bar, the browser freezes and I cannot click any buttons.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mathwan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I access a site that gives me a popup that says: 
Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.

Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

Continue  Cancel

But if I drag a bookmark to the tab bar before the popup comes up, then the browser freezes. I cannot click any buttons and the only option is to use Task Manager to kill the process.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This only works if you have a Windows Live account.

1. Visit www.bungie.net
2. Click Sign In in the top right.
3. Type in your ID and password.
4. Do this next step fast. Click login and immediately drag an item from your bookmarks toolbar to a new tab.
5. The security warning will appear but you will not be able to do anything.

Alternatively, if tried to reproduce using the above steps, but are too slow, you can try this.
1. When you sign in, click "remember my email address and password"
2. Wait a few hours and attempt to access www.bungie.net again.
3. Before the Bungie.net loads, drag an item from the bookmarks toolbar to a new tab.
4. The security warning will appear but you will not be able to do anything.
Actual Results:  
The browser froze and I was not able to click any buttons.

Expected Results:  
To have a new tab with the bookmark I just dragged as well as being able to click a button on the popup.
