If I have several tabs open on a site that uses HTTP Basic authentication or similar, then each tab will prompt for a username and password when the session is restored.

I have to fill in the username and password for each tab otherwise it will fail to load. This also occurs if I have a master password set. I have to enter the master password for each tab on the site.

It seems the problem is that all the prompts appear at once, one in front of the other. If only one prompt appeared at a time (per window), then a second prompt would not appear for a site that had already been logged into.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable session restore from options
2. Open two tabs on a site that has HTTP Basic authentication
3. Restart browser

Actual Results:
Password is asked for twice

Expected Results:
Password is asked for only once
