From the save as pdf dialog box, if I choose to create a new folder to save the pdf to, firefox will sometimes show an empty dialog box that is unresolvable until a force-close.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose print via cmd-P on any page.
2. Choose the pdf button, and then save as PDF
3. From this dialog box, create a new folder to save to, and create that.
4. Then 'save'
Actual Results:  
Empty dialog box that is impossible to dismiss without force close.

Expected Results:  
Created a new folder, and saved the PDF file to that new folder.

Martin: I am not able to reproduce this using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6. Do you have any addons installed that may be interfering? Try starting in safe mode to see if the issue persists: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode.

I started Firefox in safe mode, the issue did not occur.  I restarted Firefox normally and the issue has yet to reoccur.  It happened to me multiple times in a row this morning, the only differences from then to now that I can come up with are that my laptop was unplugged and I was on a different wireless network.  I have not rebooted my Mac.

like Bug 511570? Blank modal sheet appears sporadically, prevents operation
duplicate of bug 476541?
