So, I have a Tab problem. While websurfing I am kleptonomaniacal about the site that I'm, on and only want to open windows in new tabs. I refuse to close the old tab until I am permenantly convinced that I no longer need the contents of that tab. I obsess over it. I often have the same 30ish tabs open for an entire week before restarting my browser.
BUT, when I do, or when the odd Flash site crashes Firefox, I get these annoy 19 popups for my Master Password (The "Security Device" prompts), and then our site's proxy auth prompts directly after that. If I'm not careful, and I somehow break the Feng Shui of my windowing system and the FF UI, the prompts mislayer and the invisble under-prompt refuses to give up the focus, causing me to often do 'killall -9 firefox;echo "WTF FF, DIAF"|cowsay'.
Enter this awesome addon.

This addon creates a single prompt before Firefox opens all your tabs, avoiding most of the mess. Huzzah! I had to create an addons.mozilla.org account to install this "experimental" addon, and I've only tested it once so, YMMV. For all I know, it's a trojan stealing all my passwords and important information.... OH crap....
<runs wireshark and watches traffic>
OK, so if it's a trojan, it's a damns sneaky one. Give it a shot. I'm sure the open source gurus out there have already looked at the totally exposed code, and would have pulled it if this was malware, right?
Right?.........
