Attached file test case — 
When a tab displays a modal prompt (i.e. alert/prompt/confirm), it is still possible to execute javascript in that tab while the prompt is open. Since it's a modal prompt, it should not be possible.

This bug is similar to 360872

To reproduce, unpack the attached tgz, open test.html and click run. It'll open test2.html in a new window which in turn shows an alert() in its onload handler. test.html then executes a function in test2.html which should not be possible.
Yes, this is similar to bug 360872, bug 637264.
