Mac Firefox RC3

I had multiple tabs open, including one for a local wiki, and one for Google Calendar. When choosing the application to open a downloaded file with, if a Google Calendar reminder popup appears, the UI will hang and must be force quit.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1) I clicked on a link for a .doc file from a link on a local wiki.
A modal dialog appeared: "You have chosen to open <x>..... What should Firefox do with this file?"
the "Open with" radio button was pre-selected, with a "Choose..." button beside it.

2) I clicked on the Choose... button
A "Choose Helper Application" window opened, basically a Finder window.

3) while this window was open, Firefox switched to the Google Calendar window, and a reminder popup for an event appeared.
Neither dialog can be cancelled - no controls work on Firefox - the application must be Force Quit.
Actual Results:  
UI Hangs

Expected Results:  
tab-specific modal dialogs should be modal for a tab instead of the whole app.  A tab with an unanswered modal dialog can blink, or give some other feedback.

Could be a dup of bug 436473 -- this bug's "Choose Helper Application"
dialog and bug 436473's "Save As" dialog are both native, OS-modal
dialogs.
