User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: 3.6.13

The handling of multiple cookie-requests is cumbersome.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set option to ask before receiving cookies.
2.When multiple cookies are added, e.g. when you open multiple pages quickly, there are separate dialogs where one is the "topmost" one and all others cannot be clicked!

Actual Results:  
See attached screenshot when many such cookie-requests are shown, it is not possible to find out which one to click next?

It is now cumbersome to find out which one to click as only one of the many displayed ones is shown.

Workaround: Keyboard shortcuts seem to work (at least on Linux), so you can use ALT-A or similar even if the dialog is not the "topmost"

Expected Results:  
Either allow any of the cookie dialogs to be "accepted" or "denied" or use one dialog for all cookie-requests and alle "accept all"/"deny all" or similar.

This option is not supported.  I have no idea why Firefox continues to expose it in the UI.
