It should stay on gooogle tab a do not ask for password, do not delay me from work. Ask for password only when I make pinned tab active. Thank you.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Password Manager: Site Compatibility' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

When a tab is pinned, we do attempt to load the document on session restore - which is presumably why authentication is being requested.
Can you provide a screenshot or more detail on exactly what kind of prompt is being shown. Does your router setup page use HTTP Basic Authentication?

This behavior should actually be fixed in the current release version of Firefox. The authentication prompt for this pinned tab should be "tab modal", i.e. it doesnt interrupt your browsing in other tab. Can you confirm?

Lets confirm this before we close it out. I'll cancel the need-info on the reporter, I don't think we need more information to proceed here.

Okay, this should be a legitimate bug.
It seems that when we load a pinned tab that requires HTTP authentication on session restore, the authentication prompt cause Firefox switch the active tab to the tab the prompt belongs to, which results in this bug.
