Firefox 4 small window pops up everything else is grayed out
I noticed that in Firefox 4, when I click to empty trash in web mail, the background gets grayed out like so:
I would like to disable that because everything time it happens - it makes me think that something's wrong...
How do I disable this behavior and have the window pop up but not gray out the background, which is how it used to work in Firefox 3.
EDIT: Thank you Gingerbread Man for your help. After thinking about it, I think the best approach is not to disable it but to simply prevent it from changing the background to dark gray. Adding this to \chrome\userChrome.css file accomplishes that:
tabmodalprompt {
background: transparent !important }

EDIT: Resolved here:
You can go to about:config and switch a preference to false, but then you'll lose the ability to switch tabs while the prompt is open.

Thank you. Yes, you may not click on other tabs while the prompt is open [now I understand why they did this].
