I was going to phpMyAdmin and as it was loading (and before the login box appeared) I tried the new "move tabs" thingy.  As I was moving tab the login box appeared and it seemed that each (tab and dialogue) was waiting for the other to finish.

Browselr toally locked up

Reproducible: Didn't try
Using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I was partially able to reproduce this error.  When my CPanel login prompt appeared (as I was moving a tab) both Firefox and the prompt window were unresponsive to ANY mouse input.  I could not click on OK, Cancel, or close the prompt with the mouse.

However, I was able to access the login fields and the OK/Cancel buttons by tabbing through on the keyboard.  I filled in the fields and logged in successfully.

Firefox didn't "totally lock up" for me, but this does seem to be a bug.
I didn't try tabbing through, so that may have been a kludge around it.
