Firefox V3 hangs indefinitely when a tab is being moved when a "cookie request" dialog box pops up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Turn on "ask me every time" for cookies.
1.1. Tools/Options/{Privacy}
1.2. Set "Accept Cookies from Sites"
1.3. Keep until "Ask me every time"

2. Open up multiple tabs
3. Open up a new to a site where you have not visited that will try and set a cookie.
4. BEFORE the pop-up comes up asking to set the cookie, start to move one of the open tabs (don't "drop the tab") until the new cookie dialog opens.

Actual Results:  
Firefox will hang (race condition within the UI?)


Expected Results:  
That the "new cookie dialog" would not open until AFTER the tab has been "dropped".

Note: that this is not as rare of a bug as you might think.  I've been moving around tabs when a site I've had opened for over a minute suddenly decides that it wants to set a cookie (the Microsoft dynamic sites are especially prone to this behavior).  It's the random nature of this bug that makes it so insidious to a user who is prone to lose some work in progress.
