I can confirm that StartupMaster corrects the problem for Google
Calendars and email. However, if you have an .ics file located on an FTP
server - it still prompts you to log into the FTP server. It does fill
in the password for you but prompts each time.

So shouldn't StartupMaster serve as a good starting point to solving
this? I have great respect for the Open Source Firefox and
Thunderbird/Lightening projects but it looks like this was reported in
2006? and it's listed as New?

I can tell you that we extensively use Thunderbird and Lightening with
many of our 500 users. These multiple prompts are really making our
users not want to use Lightening with Thunderbird. For us this isn't a
minor bug. Yes, it only requires re-entering the password and then the
system works but imagine have a large number of shared Calendars N - now
enter your password N + 1 times.

If I can help debugging, I'm willing to help but it sounds like it is
just a matter of someone picking up and working on this long standing
bug.
