705689 - Calling two showModalDialog within nested setTimeouts triggers "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" prompts

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

[Aishwar Muthuraman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1
Build ID: 20111120135848

Steps to reproduce:

Call two setModalDialog within nested setTimeouts


Actual results:

Got a prompt to "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs"


Expected results:

I should not get this prompt on just two calls. If the same two calls were made from non-nested setTimeouts, I don't get the "Prevent this page from..." prompt.

Other browsers: IE and Chrome, don't have the same issue.

I have attached a zip file containing the base html and the html page for the showModalDialog popup.

The showModalDialog API was disabled in Firefox 56 and removed later on. As a result, I believe this bug is no longer present in (more) recent versions of Firefox. Please reopen and needinfo me if you think this bug is still relevant.
