Details

On current Aurora, a unresponsive script warning while a modal dialog was open managed to make my browser unusable. I'm not sure if this is a bug with the extension I was using or a core browser issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install SQLite Manager extension.
2) Open SQLite Manager
3) Click the open file button. This opens a modal FilePicker window
4) After a while I got a "Warning: Unresponsive script" tray on the SQLite Manager window (not the main Firefox window)
5) At this point, the shell was unusable.
  * I couldn't return focus to the main browser Window
  * The OS X menus for the SQLite Manager (things on the bar at the top of the screen) responded to mouse cursor moves. However, clicks had no effect.
  * Mouse clicks on the checkbox and buttons in the unresponsive script window had no effect
  * I could click around in the FilePicker window to select files, change directories, etc. Keyboard also worked. But, if I clicked "Cancel" or "Open" nothing happened.
  * Command-Q did not work. I had to force close the application

The unresponsive script was: resource://jid1-hlaizow6tymsfq-at-jetpack-api-utils-lib/securable-module.js -> resource://jid1-h1aizow6tymsfq-at-jetpack-api-utils-lib/events.js:149
