http://www.ben2.ucla.edu/~dabruin/falcon3d.html uses javascript alerts to prevent users from looking at the source code to his site. If the site is opened in a chromed window, this isn't a huge problem because users can use menus, but it's still annoying. IE has a workaround: press escape after mousedowning, and the context menu pops up when you mouseup. This trick doesn't work in Mozilla because Mozilla triggers context menus on mousedown instead of on mouseup. There was another bug somewhere that wanted to disallow popup windows for some event. This bug may be a duplicate of or closely related to that one.

I was thinking of bug 40005, "Option to disable windows being spawned on exit".

Interestingly, Mozilla now pops up the context menu even while the alert is active (you have to hold down the right mouse button to see this). I was able to get two modal dialogs at once using that by clicking "save as" in the context menu... weird. Updating url to http://www.angelcities.com/members/jeditemple/3dcraft.html.

We have sufficient features to work around this now (both preventing lots of alerts and opening the context menu anyway), but it's also no longer really a problem on the web at large.
