User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/533.17.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.1.1 Safari/533.17.8
Build Identifier: 3.6.8

Sometimes when the a dialog box appears and displaying an alarm,  No action is being done when clicking OK button or any other button like cancel, etc. and therefore the whole FF windows are inaccessible since the dialog boxes are on the top therefore can not do anything further, even can not "Quit" from the dock. Unless forcing quit! from apple menu. It seems it will start with printing document dialog box and then propagate to other dialog boxes. The followings are such dialog boxes which i can see on some of my windows with multi tab opened. This is happening whether I am restarting a session or in regular way.
--  Print Error     An unknown error occured while printing  -- 
-- The page at http:// ...  says" This web site needs a different Google Maps API key ...
-- You have requested an encrypting page ...

In general I do not think the type of alert message/dialog box is  (except I guess the first one cause it so it blocks to access any other window or dialog boxes). The only one I think is the most problematic is the print one. I can not even close or minimize other windows.  This problem start within last month and with newest version of FF.  I am keep updating the FF with the latest version but this bug must have been introduced within recent updates.
Thank you

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
