Build Identifier: 

There are a number of prompts that block the entire window, but should actually only block the tab that they are relevant to. The initial list of dialogs is taken from bug 562258.

To report an additional dialog that needs to be tab-modal, please create a separate bug and mark it as blocking this one.

Yeah I picked bug 133787 over bug 122126, because I don't know what "sheets" are.

Roman, what about this type? Or this is POSTdata?

Can't provide example for such type of alerts, but they very often.
Yes, that looks like POSTDATA.

Adam, why is this a duplicate? Bug 59314 only talks about alerts, and is already marked as fixed. See bug 562258 comment 31, in which Boris Zbarsky suggests that this is not a duplicate of 59314.
As no answerer from we Adam, I am reopening this

Cookie dialogs are a good candidate for a make-over as well. See e.g. bug 515521
I'm really hate Leave/Stay dialogs.

Can you find a bug that requests specifically that the cookie dialogs should be tab-modal? That would be the perfect candidate to add to this bug.

Bug 616853 is more specific, requesting only that these dialogs be made tab-specific.
