The master password is requested multiple times when I open several tabs for which a stored password is present. This is a new bug in Firefox 3; in earlier versions, the master password was only requested one time for all tabs being opened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a bookmark folder that contains URLs to 2 or more password-protected sites (eg, your bank and your credit card)
2. Start Firefox fresh (to ensure no master password has been already entered)
3. Right-click on the bookmark folder.
4. Note that the master password will be requested more than once. This is the bug.


Expected Results:  
The master password should only be requested one time.

Only an annoyance; the master password still works, assuming it is entered correctly each time it is requested.
