[Bug 323749] [NEW] Multiple .htaccess authorization boxes makes further usage impossible.

[lobner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I try to access a webpage showing multiple <img>-tags with images
from a directory that is .htaccess protected. My browser is flooded with
authorization requests.

This makes the browser impossible to interact with, and the only
solution is to kill the process.

In Firefox 2.x what happend was, that only one instance of the
authorization box popped up. And if that was canceled, any other
reference in that page, to a file that where protected by the same
policy also were canceled.

In Firefox 3.x all the authorization boxes "stacks" and waits for an
answer, thus making the browser inoperable.
