I have enabled the FIPS module, because a few addons do require this:
For example the "Nagios checker" and "Firefox Companion for eBay" store some passwords. And the "Session Manager" loads on startup some websites via SSL.

Every time I start Firefox I get asked for the master password twice.
Before the Firefox window opens, there are two seperate forms asking for the password.

It is really annoying. Can you fix it?

You don't need to enable FIPS to use a master password. I'd be surprised if either of the two extensions required either FIPS or a master password, but I suppose it's possible.

In any case, this is flaw in the prompting architecture, and a duplicate of existing bugs.
