AFAIK, we don't use the "modal" flag, but instead try to
use event capture.

Hi Scott,

Aside from the description over at [1] for why it was changed to a
privileged feature, I can imagine that companies making popup ads would love
to make their popups take control of the browser.

I think a preferred alternative would be to otherwise block user input
(keyboard, mouse clicks, etc.) in the dialog's launcher window rather than
attempting to use this privileged feature.
