[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

looks like another case of bug 686469

Comment 2

[Jesse Ruderman]

Except I'm using trunk, and this dialog isn't tab-modal.

Ha, nice, I just hit this, also on boston.com's Big Picture page!

Comment 6

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

Maybe it should be fixed before the Big Picture fixes it?

Comment 7

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

It's easy enough to reproduce. This is probably a dupe of some old bug, but there are two basic issues:

1) The window-modal prompt code just doesn't have (and apparently never had?) any code to deal with limiting the prompt's size.

2) The slow-script dialog isn't tab-modal, we could look at making it so.

#1 should be pretty simple to fix, #2 less so.

#1 should have been fixed in Firefox 37 by bug 1104875
