Breaking out from bug 620145 comment 5. The "prompt type" image (ie: question mark for a confirm prompt) shown on the new tab modal alerts, takes longer to appear than the rest of the alert window/dialog and description text. This only occurs the first time that an alert is shown that Firefox session. STR: 1) Using a new profile, sign into a Gmail account. 2) Go to compose message. 3) Enter an email address and a subject line, but leave the message body blank. 4) Press send. 5) Watch the confirm alert render. Expected: - The confirm alert appears promptly, with the dialog, text and image appearing at the same time. Actual: - The first time the dialog is shown that Firefox session, the confirm dialog and text appears promptly, but the image takes slightly longer to appear (approx half a second). - Subsequent times that session, the image appears immediately, as per expected results. Occurs using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20110101 Firefox/4.0b9pre ID:20110101030401

Annoying but not going to block on this

I would suspect this is just the usual async loading of images, perhaps made a bit worse by us doing some style flushes while bringing up the dialog? Not sure if there's really much that could be done here.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b10pre) Gecko/20110115 Firefox/4.0b10pre ID:20110115030345 FWIW on my older system the "?" takes about 3 seconds to appear.

In Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110127 Firefox/4.0b11pre (nightly 2011-01-27-03-mozilla-central) it does not appear at all.

The image was removed intentionally in this changeset: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/b5314bc1a926 (See Bug 613749 comment 39) Therefore since there is now no image, this bug does not occur.

Was convinced I selected invalid, obviously not - thanks for the spot.
