546181 - Multiple master password requests when opening thunderbird w/lightning

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 349641

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[Eric]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20100107 Fedora/3.5.6-1.fc12 Firefox/3.5.6
Build Identifier: Fedora/3.0.1-1.fc12 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.1

I recently started using Lightning w/Thunderbird along with some of the Google calendar add-ons(Google Calendar Tab, Provider for Google Calendar, and Thundercal) for 2 separate google accnts. The problem is that I'm being asked multiple(3) times for my master password when one time is all that's really needed since it's obviously the same password each time. 

As a side note, this is probably related to a security issue I've noticed with Firefox where if it is restoring tabs that require login credentials it will ask multiple times(I'll be filing this separately but figured that this might help you figure out where the behavior comes from). 

This also may be related to a complaint that I've had but not yet reported in that much information of mine is shown in Thunderbird even before I enter my master password so perhaps it would be more prudent to move the authentication to an earlier stage in Thunderbird's startup(again, the same can be said for Firefox but like I said, I'm filing that separately)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Thundebird w/lightning and google calendar extensions mentioned above.
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
It opens 3 request dialogs for my master password instead of the 1 that I would expect. 

Expected Results:  
It should only open 1 request dialog.
