Suspect: Bug 59314 - Alerts should be content-modal, not window-modal

Given that this regression range matches bug 619644, believe this may be fixed
when that is fixed. Marking that bug as a dependency.

(Can someone put this in the correct product/component please. The suspected
cause is Toolkit:General, but not sure if this belongs there also).

This is the same underlying issue as Bug 619644.  We end up in some bizarre
place where we've aborted the document load but are still running script on it which causes the bogus sessionhistory entry.
