Public bug reported:
If I have the cookies setting "ask me everytime"
(Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Accept cookies from sites->Keep until: ask
me every time) and I go to a site that sets a bunch of cookies the
dialogs to accept/reject the cookies pile up quickly. This in and of
itself is a bug as most of the time each dialog asks the exact same
question. But the bigger problem is that these dialog boxes must be
clicked on *in a particular order* and they get out of order. So I'm
stuck with maybe 30 dialog boxes that are all piled up on each other. I
have to move them around in order to find the correct one to click on
and most of the time give up and kill the browser - which has to be done
from the command line since the window kill button must be disabled
because of the dialog boxes.
