I can confirm this behavior of Firefox since I use a master password - on all platforms I use (Win XP SP0,1,2,3; openSuSE 11.0,11.0,11.2(Factory)) with Firefox 3.x and 3.5 (all versions i ever used of it).

This bug is absolutely annoying and sometimes stops firefox from working (eg 60 tabs open wich all ask for the master password (proxy auth) -> typing into a password field becomes impossible and closing them is also sometimes impossible(FF locks down?!)

implementing the master password prompt seems to be a good solution for this because a user can only have 1 master password so no need to ask multiple times.

As I see it this should be fixed to all applicable versions and distributed as recommended update.
