User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

I had open several tabs including some with https login sessions. During print via an adobe pdf virtual printer it stopped responding and I had to close/kill the program.


Actual results:

A normal new start of firefox re-opened all previous tabs (which by itself is a welcome function), but it doesn't ask for the locally defined master passwort.


Expected results:

It should already know it crashed, because it reloads all tabs. In this case it should ask for the master passwort before displaying the tabs with its urls or even worse the content of them. Only afterwards it should continue to reload the tabs.

It might be a possible attack vector for getting users leave their browser crashed down, then restart the browser and see sensible data.
