(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nicholas Solin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When users set Firefox to "show my windows and tabs from last time" AND "Use a master password", if they have login pages open in Firefox  or if websites logged out when the user closed Firefox last time, then the Software Security Device will ask them for the the master password for EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE.

This makes the master password redundant, because the user still has to type in a password for every website.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a series of login information to the Software Security Device.
2. Open the login pages of each website in Firefox.
3. Close Firefox.
4. Reopen Firefox.
5. The Software Security Device should ask you to enter your password for every single website.
Actual Results:  
I had a slew of Password Required popups spam my browser.

Expected Results:  
It should have asked for the master password once and only once, and after receiving it once process it for every single other tab.
