User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130531 Firefox/24.0 (Nightly/Aurora) Build ID: 20130531031002 Steps to reproduce: Opened a web page that requires HTTP authentication. Actual results: A modal dialog appeared, blocking access to other tabs in the same window. I also cannot minimize this window. Expected results: I should be able to navigate to other tabs (the dialog should belong to the tab, not the window). Chrome does this in the user-desired way.
