(Filing this bug as part of an effort to get the window-modal dialogs listed in bug 562258 fixed. The obvious fix is to make them tab-modal instead, but if a better idea has been suggested, please close as duplicate of the better idea.)

The Javascript crypto dialogs (such as generateCRMFRequest / <keygen> element) are currently window-modal and can take a while for large keys. They block the entire Firefox window and switch tabs if activated in a background tab. This is undesirable.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The dialog should be displayed as tab-modal. The tab should remain closeable while the dialog is visible.

This is likely tricky to implement, and low-value since most users will never even see this dialog. Further, bug 1030963 will remove generateCRMFRequest.
