I realize, this is an old issue and has been around for years, but please for the love of god, make the master password popup less frustrating. Every single site with a login field triggers the popup. It really needs a setting, where you can browse the web and it never shows a popup, unless you click a button to actually login (could be next to the URL field)

Is there any known workaround, apart from always logging in?

This only happens to me if I don't put in the Primary Password when Firefox first opens. I would just skip putting in the password and yes, every site needing a password would bring up the Primary Password prompt. After putting in the Primary Password, I no longer get prompts for it when i need to log into site.
