Details

I'm using SSL client auth for logging in to the IMAP server.

I start Mozilla mail, see the prompt to confirm the certificate.
This should be enough to work with the IMAP server, and it is not required to
enter a password to the mail server again.

Since a couple of days, using the branch builds, I've been seeing a new behaviour:

After I confirmed the client auth dialog, I'm prompted to enter the mail password.

I can cancel this dialog, not entering the mail server password, and are still
able to work with the mails on the server.

Actual behaviour: Unneccessary password prompt dialog comes up.

Expected behaviour: Mozilla detects that SSL client auth was already in use, and
does not display a mail server password prompt.
