This should be resolved on 3.6 via bug 356097 and bug 475053.

Found this in Hendrix feedback:

Summary: request the master password multiple times again

Comments: 
Hi, the firefox asks at start
time for the master password
for each tab with a saved
password in it. Than it works
all fine.

It seems for me, it may be the
same error as in thunderbird
with lightning, see Bug 349641

Using 3.6 and still i get A LOT of master password prompts when restoring the session. The question is not about the proxy!

I have tabs open where firefox wants to fill my user/password data, and then firefox restores those tabs and everytime it prompts a new master password question.

Found many bugzilla entryies which I think tries to explain this but no fix...

Ok older entry #499233 has more votes and has fix for this, I think that this can be marked as duplicate of that one and closed.
