[Bug 234256] [NEW] Multiple passphrase dialogs shown

[Florian Boor]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Restoring a session with multible tabs that have a stored password and
request for a login Firefox opens multiple passphrase dialogs to unlock
the password database. This is even more annoying if a second dialog
pops up in front of the first while you are typing your passphrase.

To reproduce:
1. Configure Firefox to restore the open tabs on start.
2. Open more than one websites that will ask for a password and tell Firefox to remember these passwords.
3. Quit Firefox
4. Start it again and multiple passphrase dialogs will appear

This started with the first Firefox 3.0b package in Ubuntu 8.04. With the Firefox 2.x in 7.10 the behaviour was correct: One dialog independednt from the number of open tabs.
