Mozilla STILL (since YEARS!) pops up a password-Window for each opened protected site-tab after restarting the browser (with open Tabs) which results in 2,3 or even more Windows which ask for the masterpassword. problem with this is that I start typing my masterpassword in the first window and while I type the next pops up and steels my aktive window, so the entered password is too short and second half of password is in the new window. This results in 2 or 3 times trying to finish the masterpassword

Please reduce max popup for masterpassword to ONE

Thanks

just got a message today, that the bug was resolved:
"[Bug 177175] Should not display more than one "Primary Password" prompts."

I am sorry, but in the german version 108.0 the bug is still present (see attached jpg)

version 108.0 the bug is still present (see attached jpg)

Well, since it was fixed after the release of Firefox 108 it can't be fixed in Firefox 108. They haven't invented a time machine yet. But you can read in the referenced bug that it's fixed in Firefox 110. Please note that Firefox Nightly, where the fix landed, is already at version 110. Bugzilla tickets get closed once a fix arrive in Firefox Nightly. Unless they decide to uplift the change (and I doubt that they will uplift it since the issue is already a few years old, so a few weeks more doesn't matter; it's always a risk consideration) it will be in Firefox 110 Beta next month, and then in the stable release of Firefox 110 in two months (as long as there are no reasons to hold it back due to regressions).

Btw, you commented in the wrong Bugzilla ticket. This belongs to bug 177175.
