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.
