I think I should have been clearer in comment #4 : I tested this with zip builds of Bon Echo nightlies by unzipping to a clean directory and testing with a clean profile created just for this testing. I always see this problem when I'm behind an authenticated proxy with a master password set for every build I've tried after 2006072103.

I am interested to know if you or anyone else is unable to reliably replicate using my method. To be clear:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use an authenticated proxy
2. Save password for proxy using password manager
3. Set master password
4. Set multiple homepages (outside proxy)
5. Restart Firefox

I've noticed a few other things while testing this:

1. When the master password dialog is only needed for filling out forms there is only one prompt.

2. When multiple pages are loaded by session restore (e.g. after ending task) there are multiple prompts even in builds before 2006072103. I haven't narrowed that down yet, but it started after 2006051503.

3. Without a master password multiple proxy authentication requests are displayed (sometimes need to wait a few seconds before clicking OK, otherwise the second dialog won't pop up.)

4. Setting one homepage to a login form (with a saved password) and the other to a page outside the proxy also causes multiple master password prompts.
