Details

steps:
1. setup a profile where you have nothing important
2. load https://projects.maemo.org/
3. cancel the dialog
4. trigger a crash (crashme if necessary)
5. when asked if you want to restart, say yes
6. when you get the restore session tab, sit and wait for a while

expected results:
no dialogs

actual results:
a dialog asking you to log in - it's actually somewhat useful because it means i can log in once instead of dozens of times (once per tab), however it's also annoying.

an alternative approach for this would be to queue a list of all auth requiring favicons and provide a list at the top (with some sort of button system). this would enable someone to log into all of their annoying services *before* they restore tabs, but only when they chose to, instead of while they're thinking.

The same thing happens with Outlook Web Access
