Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2009-09-18 15:18:22 PDT 
PageGroupLoadDeferrer calls suspendActiveDOMObjects() on all platforms but Mac, which results in e.g. DOM timers working in a page beneath a modal dialog. This doesn't match Safari for Windows or Firefox, and generally doesn't make much sense.

Other active DOM objects also need to be suspended to avoid reentrant JavaScript execution.

Committed revision 48540.

Note that Firefox doesn't fully pass the test - even though timers are disabled while the modal alert and dialog are displayed, they still run while he latter is being created.
