Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 499233

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

When Firefox starts up with multiple tabs of different domains that require authorization, the master password has to be entered multiple times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open at least 15 tabs to generate a reasonable workload
2. Make sure that 2 tabs require password authorization
3. Enable Session restore and restart Firefox
Actual Results:  
On startup, Firefox will prompt for the Master Password. After entering the Master Password, Firefox will prompt for the Master Password again for at least one more and up to <number of authorizations> times.

Expected Results:  
On startup, Firefox prompts for the Master Password ONCE.

This is obviously due to the fact that multiple tabs have initialized the password authentication routine independently. The OnInit event of the master password messagebox should have a separate check to see whether the password was already entered.
