Title:
  "Ask me everytime" cookie dialogs pile up and can't be clicked

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  If I have the cookies setting "ask me everytime"
  (Edit->Preferences->Privacy->Accept cookies from sites->Keep until:
  ask me every time) and I go to a site that sets a bunch of cookies the
  dialogs to accept/reject the cookies pile up quickly.  This in and of
  itself is a bug as most of the time each dialog asks the exact same
  question.  But the bigger problem is that these dialog boxes must be
  clicked on *in a particular order* and they get out of order.  So I'm
  stuck with maybe 30 dialog boxes that are all piled up on each other.
  I have to move them around in order to find the correct one to click
  on and most of the time give up and kill the browser - which has to be
  done from the command line since the window kill button must be
  disabled because of the dialog boxes.
