Does anyone else experience a freeze on Firefox OSX when JIRA asks to confirm "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when hitting the browser's back button.

Does anyone else experience a freeze on Firefox OSX when JIRA asks to confirm "Are you sure you want to leave this page" when hitting the browser's back button.

How I reproduce this everytime:

In JIRA, go to the administration page.

Click on User Managment

Click on Create new user.

Begin to type a user's email address in the given input field. Leave focus of the input field by clicking on a blank spot on the page.

Hit the browser's back button (I used two-finger swipe on my Mac Book Pro's trackpad).

Firefox prompts me "Do you really want to leave this page? You have unsaved changes"

No matter what I click, the dialog doesn't go away. I have to force quit Firefox. Doesn't seem to happen in other web apps, but may be a firefox bug.

Firefox 13, Jira On Demand (5.0.3-rc1 I believe)

I can still duplicate this type of issue in IE and Firefox. If a comment was started and then clicked on create branch and "stay on page" selected the aui-blanket does not go away. Using the Escape key clears the aui-blanket brings you back to the page with your data intact. JIRA v6.1
