Recently, I've been switching a lot back and forth between FF3.6 and FF4b both on Windows XP and Ubuntu.

When one is the default browser, opening the other pops up the "Firefox isn't your default browser. Do you want it to be so?" (or whatever the actual text in English is. I have it in French).

No page would load until an answer has been clicked.

The dialog box looks lika a JavaScript "prompt()" which is blocking. If it is so, it probably should be changed to something non-blocking. If other dialogs
are working like this too, they probably should be changed too.

Does this bug depends on Electrolysis?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make FF3.6 your default browser
2. Open a few tabs with websites
3. Close FF3.6 (with the tabs saved)
4. Open FF4b
Actual Results:  
The "This is not your default browser" dialog pops up and nothing else happens until a choice has been made.

Expected Results:  
Same dialog popup with saved tabs loading on the background.
Duplication of Bug 555529 ?
Totally. My bad.
I searched for terms like "block", "blocking", "synchronous".
