When firefox restores tab at starting (after a crash, or because of preferences) I often have 10 or 20 http-login pages open.
Then I often get several loginboxes to log into the server.
This is very annoying.

It would be good if the entry in one form would propagate to the others. Or that just one form is showed when several tabs need the same information.

For comparison, here's a page that uses http auth and causes Firefox to show an http auth dialog: http://www.squarefree.com/stats/
Yes.
