Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
When I restart firefox and wander off, when I return I have multiple
(I've actually witnessed 6, 9 and 15) "Password Required" popups, all
asking me for the password for the System Security Device. Since these
popups appear on any open screen, they confuse me.
How can I tell which of my many open (and restored) tabs want access to
my stored passwords?
How can I tell which popup to answer? I don't want to type my password
multiple times.
When I try to reduce the number of popups to one by clicking Cancel, I
find I must guess the right order to Cancel them. If I click Cancel out-
of-order it's ignored.
What's the upper limit on the number of popups asking for the same
password?
Why aren't the "Please enter the password for the System Security Device"
popups
numbered,
timestamped,
tagged with a URL, or,
unique?
