I'm getting a particularly frustrating variant of this problem with
firefox 17.0 on 64-bit Fedora 17 Gnome.

I get a stack of these cookie confirmation dialog boxes and I wish to
click "allow for Session" on each of them.  The top of the stack won't
take a click!  If I drag the FF window, some of the stack of dialog
boxes moves, and some doesn't.  Then, at least one of the visible boxes
can be clicked and dismissed.

Observation 1: the biggest surprise is that the box that I can click
after this maneuver seems to have the same contents as the former top
box that was unresponsive.  I wonder if the display was not correctly
rendered before the maneuver.

Observation 2: if the cookie dialog box were not modal (is that the
correct term?) and each of them would take clicks at any time, the order
of the stacking would not be so critical.

Right now, I feel like I'm in a game of Adventure (twisty little
passages, all alike) and I don't want to be.
