If I am on a website like the clearfoundation forums or the forums on http://www.blenderartists.org , exit, save my session, then load the session back up I am bombarded with 'enter master password' requests, even if I enter one the others do not disappear and I am forced to cancel a majority of them before the webpage will reload.

Likewise, in Thunderbird when opening the software up I am greeted with an 'enter master password' dialogue and if I cancel it I am hit with it once for every e-mail account with its password protected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Exit and save session at the sites I've listed, have multiple tabs open as if you were browsing the forums
2. Open firefox back up.

1. Open thunderbird up with a master security password and multiple accounts.
2. Cancel the first password, and the second...et cetera..
Actual Results:  
Exactly what I described in the bug report

Expected Results:  
For one 'enter master password' prompt to be given, and if I cancel it to cancel all of them.

I've tested this on two versions of firefox but only one of thunderbird. It's been happening for awhile but it's especially obnoxious because I like to save tabs, lots of them, and open the session up when I restart my computer.

This could be a security issue if users start expecting it and enter their password repeatedly. I don't think it's a major security issue, but it could be a potential avenue for attack.
