Overzealos security restriction - window.open w/ "modal?

[Jesse McDaniel]

As of version 1.3 window.open passing "modal" no longer opens the window 
modally (nor does it raise a security exception).  Supposedly it works 
in signed scripts, but to many developers that is useless.  This worked 
fine in 1.2.1 and below so has been relieve uppon for many released 
versions of web bassed applications.  If you need modal dialogs please 
help me convince the Mozilla security team to change the approach taken 
ASAP.  For example one solution might be to make the window document 
modal not window modal.  Many developers need this changed back to 
something like 1.2.1. PLEASE help by reviewing & voting for:
