549904 - Multiple Master Password Prompts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 349641

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Tobias Erbsland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100227 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.3

Every time I start Thunderbird I get at least 3 master password prompts, where I have to enter the same password. 

The dialogs are stacked exactly on top of each other (I moved them on for the screenshot). So after entering the password, it looks like you entered the password wrong, because it looks like the dialog does not disappear. In fact you see the second one, then the third one. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a master password
2. Install an add-on which is using the security device
3. Start Thunderbird
Actual Results:  
You see multiple password dialogs. They are stacked, so only one is visible. A under could think he entered the master password wrong, because it looks like the master password dialog does not disappear. 

Expected Results:  
Only one master password should appear, as the name "master password" suggests.

For me it seems this is a general problem of Thunderbird, and not only related to the lightening add-on. So I'm not sure if this is really a duplicate. Or at least, the scope of the other bug has to get changed.
