Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When you have a master password set, Firefox asks for it when you first
load a tab with a login form that you've stored a password for (even if
the tab is in the background) or when an extension (like Foxmarks) asks
for a stored password. While this does have the advantage of asking for
the master password only when it's needed, it can be rather disruptive.
An alternate approach would be to have Firefox ask for the master
password immediately at startup, blocking access to the password manager
if the password is entered incorrectly or the dialog is canceled. Users
should be able to choose between the two configurations, as the current
setup might still be more convenient for users who use the password
manager infrequently.
