While it is shown, the user is unable to use any other tabs. Additionally, if the tab wishing to display the prompt is a background tab, it steals focus. The desired behaviour is for the prompt to only block the tab it relates to, and not steal focus when it's shown. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ctrl-click the specified URL to open it in a background tab. 2. Observe both the focus stealing and the modality.

This issue has not been resolved in Firefox 4 Beta 12. HTTP Auth Dialogs (using the link above) still appear as a Window-Modal popup, not a Tab-Modal popup like expected.

This issue has not been resolved in Firefox 8.0 release. HTTP Auth Dialogs (using the link above) still appear as a Window-Modal popup, not a Tab-Modal like expected.

Opera, Google Chrome, Maxthon - don't block all tabs then one tab need http password entrty. Even Internet Explorer 8.0 don't block, until you activate tab, wich wait password entry and flashing by tab title.
