Is there a way to focus the Firefox proxy authorization window to be on top or be the focus when opening a new session?

Using FF 3.6.7 through a Squid proxy server on Windows XP Pro at my office. When starting FF, the proxy authorization dialogue box (for proxy user ID and password) is always hidden behind other open windows. A new tab for the box doesn't even appear in the Windows taskbar. I have to ALT-TAB may way through the windows to get to it, and sometimes, I even forget that it's there and I wonder why FF isn't opening.

Is there any way to force that proxy authorization dialogue window to be the focus when opening FF? This problem does not happen with IE.
