Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: version 3 alpha 1 (20061126)

I have two IMAP accounts and six RSS feeds, all of which require passwords and all of which are set to have their passwords remembered by Thunderbird.  I am using a the software security device with a master password and every time I start Thunderbird I receive 8 master password prompts all stacked on top of one another, some of them with RSS login prompts in between (sometimes the RSS login prompts are pre-filled, sometimes they are not; it seems to depend on how fast I am at entering my password into every master password prompt).

The pattern goes like this:

1. Master password prompt
2. Master password prompt
3. Master password prompt
4. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
5. Master password prompt
6. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
7. Master password prompt
8. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
9. Master password prompt
10. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
11. Master password prompt
12. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
13. Master password prompt
14. RSS login prompt (pre-filled)
15. Master password prompt

Even more annoying is that the master password prompts before each of the RSS login prompts (except #3 above for some reason) appear un-focused so you have to click on them before you can type anything.

If I attempt to hit cancel to most of the master password prompts, I receive two unlabeled dialog boxes with single-line text input fields, one after the other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up multiple password-requiring accounts and set them all to save their passwords
2. Enable the software security device with a master password in place
3. Restart Thunderbird

Actual Results:  
Many many password prompts

Expected Results:  
Only one password prompt

This did not happen with Thunderbird 1.5.x.x.  It only happens with the nightly (3.0a1) builds.
This is the same as bug 340358.  That was marked as a dupe of bug 338549, I think correctly, but the reporter of 340358 made several comments in 338549 that made me wonder whether it's an actual dupe or not, or if he's experiencing some additional problem.
