Confirm dialog from silverlight crashes firefox

Question

I've found some strange behaviour of firefox 3.6 - when I call HtmlPage.Window.Confirm() method from my silverlight 3 app it crashes the browser. This behaviour, I think, begins from the version when plugin container became separate process. Maybe it is cross-thread issue of firefox.

Did anybody face this problem?

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean by "crush" exactly? If it's a real crash, can you reproduce it on another machine with the same OS and browser? — Pekka, Sep 16 '10 at 09:12
I expect it's all part of Microsoft's plot to crush Firefox... — T.J. Crowder, Sep 16 '10 at 09:17
I think "crush" means that Firefox is in love with Silverlight - which sounds strange? ;-) — Martin Hennings, Sep 16 '10 at 11:01
It's not actualy the crash :), but browser's not responding until I kill it from the processes. On the same OS - the same behaviour. — ogojack, Sep 27 '10 at 15:31

Setting param windowless to true in most cases helps to fix this problem.

Yes I had the same problem with Firefox but you should be able to get around it by using Silverlight's MessageBox command with the optional MessageBoxButton.OKCancel flag.

MessageBox.Show("Are you sure?", "Warning", MessageBoxButton.OKCancel);
