When opening a set of tabs (Open All in tabs) and being connected to the internet via a proxy which requires authentification, the password manager opens many popup dialogs where the user shall enter the password manager master password (Firefox 3 RC2). There are even other popups without any caption or description.
In FF2 the authorization to the password manager showed up only once (the tabs were 'waiting' in the background (= expected behaviour)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start FireFox freshly (not yet authenticated to proxy)
2. open several URLs with (Open All in tabs)
3. many password manager popups show up (one has to enter the manager password for every single tab.
Actual Results:  
works normally.

Expected Results:  
password for password manager must be entered only once

In my opinion a proxy is not necessary! I have this problem without such a connection.
