ctengctsh@ - Are you talking about this javascript alert dialog? (See the attachment.) They should have started getting dismissed automatically when you try and switch a tab with it open now - see the duplicate  bug 629964 . This change apparently went out in May 2017, so if you're still not able to switch tabs with the alert dialog open, please feel free to reopen this bug / mark it a non-duplicate.

Hi, There is some difference: on my case, the site seems to keep showing
modal dialog due to some js dead-loop bugs, while your "dismiss
automatically when switch to other tabs" may be just effective to one-time
showModalDialog?
