I know the add-on fixes this problem, but shouldn't firefox be modified, so that when a password manager call is made, as will be made by every tab on startup if a password is required and you haven't authenticated yet, firefox first checks whether there is already a password dialog open, and if this is the case, it doesn't open another one. This means that the first tab to want a password will cause the dialog to appear, the other calls will simply be ignored, and then once the password is entered everything works as normal. (I.e. set firefox up so that only one password dialog can ever appear.)
