When I start up Firefox (3.5.5) I have lots of tabs.

I get SIXTEEN password popups! I type my password into the first one that lets me type and hit Enter. The popup doesn't disappear. A new one pops up on top of it. Sometimes it pops up while I'm typing in the first one, grabbing some of the newly-typed characters.

When there are lots of password popups, ONLY ONE of them will take input or honor its buttons. This turns "entering your password" into a game of whack-a-mole, trying to guess which one of the sixteen popups will let me hit Cancel! I'm not sure what else is going on (probably the page loads for each of the tabs), but it's REALLY SLOW, so it takes several minutes before a real firefox window appears!
