Greyed out screen on confirmation pop ups

OK here's the deal. In the new FF, when I click on a link (like the empty spam folder in Yahoo mail), I get the standard confirmation dialog pop up. However the new FF grays out the entire screen other than the active pop up. I REALLY despise this. Please tell me how to turn off this feature. I am smart enough to know that the dialog needs my attention w/o FF altering the screen state of my entire window... Thanks...
