890508 - Two conflicting dialogs while choosing certificate

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[Martin von Gagern]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

This is on OS X 10.8.4.
1. View installed certificates
2. Import a new certificate
3. Wait (while trying to locate / obtain the certificate in another app)


Actual results:

Message popup about an unresponsive script:

resource://services-common/preferences.js:375

The usual question whether I'd want the script to continue or rather stop that script. The problem was that this dialog appeared below the file chooser dialog, and neither dialog accepted button pressed to close them. So I could neither answer that dialog nor cancel the file chooser, thus leaving me with an application which I had to kill the hard way.


Expected results:

Preferrably no such dialog should pop up in the first place. But if it does, then at least either of the two dialogs should remain usable, preferrably both.

I can't reproduce the unresponsive script dialog - is this still an issue?
