User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0.7

To overcome this problem, I modified the code as below :

<script>
 function fun()
 {
          var hh, h;
          //  alert(window.showModalDialog);
          if (typeof(window.showModalDialog)=="undefined")
          {
                   h = window.open("hellos.html", hh, "left=100,top=100,width=550,height=300,dependent,modal");
                   window.onfocus=function()
                   {
                             if(h && !h.closed)
                                      h.focus();
                   }
          }
          else 
          {
                   h = window.showModalDialog("hellos.html", hh);
          }
 }
</script>


Reproducible: Always

Could you please try this code with Firefox 1.5? Firefox 1.0.7 (part of Gecko 1.7) is now only for security changes.

Firefox 1.5 can be obtained at http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ and is the latest release of Mozilla Firefox.

Ah, check bug 194404. It seems this hasn't been implemented in Firefox yet.

window.showModalDialog was not implemented in Firefox 1.5 also.
The above specified example is not suggestable in all cases.
ie, the problem with the specified code is that window.open is asynchronous.
It does not block the JavaScript execution until the window has finished loading. 
Could you please have a look on this code :-

<script>
function fun()
{
    var hh, h=null;
    
    if (window.showModalDialog)
    {
       h = window.showModalDialog("hellos.html", hh);
    }
    else
    {
		h = window.open("hellos.html", hh, "left=100,top=100,width=550,height=300,dependent,modal");

	   window.onfocus=function()
           {
			if(h && !h.closed)
			{
				h.focus();
			}
           }
	   return false;
    }
	
    alert("hai");

}
</script>


How can I get alert message in Firefox?
