This is very similar to bug 340358, which seems to have been closed as being a duplicate of 338549. After reading that, I'm not sure it is.

I have 4 POP3 accounts and 1 IMAP. They are all setup with usernames and passwords saved. When the first versions of TB 3 came out, it was possible to enable the master password, and be asked just once for the password on startup, which would then go off and connect. 

Now, however, it's now and has been for sometime, asking mulitple times, I assume for each account before connecting. Surely it should be the same and the FF mechanism, such that once you have been asked once, you shouldn't be asked again.

I apologise if this is still a duplicate of another bug.

Thanks,

Richard

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable user master password
2. Restart
3. Now for each account a new prompt is produced.
This is a dupe of that bug, actually. See bug 337879, for instance, which was also duped to it.
