I am using Firefox 3.6.6 and Windows XP service pack 3. When I go to yahoo, I get the typical 'authentication required' dialog box for my saved password. I enter my master password and hit 'OK', but then there is another 'authentication required' dialog box. I re-enter the mater password, hit 'OK', and I can log in. The second time this happened, I dragged the dialog box to the side and realized there were two 'authentication required' stacked on top of each other. I do not have multiple tabs open, just the one web page.
