590020 - Firefox asks multiple times for Master Password on startup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 499233

(Firefox Graveyard :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Christian Sasso]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

My Firefox starts with four open tabs (configured from under Tools->Options->General->HomePage). Two of the four tabs start with a login/password request: because of that Firefox will open two windows requesting for the Master Password, so it can auto-complete the login details.

I feel Firefox should open only one window requesting for the Master Password, since to enter the exact same information more than once is redundant (and confusing..)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to Tools->Options->General->HomePage
2. configure more than one web page for Firefox to open at startup
3. make sure at least two of the above web pages require login/password and that such information is supposed to be automatically filled by Firefox
4. start Firefox or do a File->NewWindow
Actual Results:  
Firefox will open more than one window requesting the Master Password.

Expected Results:  
Firefox only opens one window requesting the Master Password, and after the Master Password has been provided it auto-completes all login/password requests.

N/A

This will be fixed in the next major version of Firefox (v4.0)
