Since I have set a master password I get three prompts for it on starting up firefox, presumably because several extensions (GMail manager, foxmarks) ask simultaneously for passwords. 

Firefox should be smart enough to ask for the master password only one time even in such situations.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install more than one extension using passwords (e.g. GMail manager + Foxmarks)
2. set a master password
3. restart firefox
Actual Results:  
I get three prompts for the master password at the same time or shortly after each other, I have to type it in all three times, else one of those extensions will fail to get their password and log on.

Expected Results:  
firefox should be smart enough to request the master password only once even if multiple components request passwords at the same time. As long as one password prompt is pending, no second one should be fired up.
