Reproduced, but I am not sure if this is working as desgned

Could this be by design or maybe intended?

It is not an issue per se, but I would like to give feedback to the tester in regards of this. Also, wouldn't it be better to change the functionality so that each window, when open, has to be closed/cancelled individually? Just a thought.

No, we don't cancel multiple windows at once, and we don't show them again magically. When the OP cancelled the dialog the Firefox window became focused again. As a result, the other two dialogs got hidden behind the Firefox window. When he opened another window the Firefox window moved into background and these dialogs became visible again. Maybe Windows behaving that way isn't obvious to everybody - but that isn't something we are responsible for.
