Hi, I just though I would ask this question AGAIN. Seeing as its been around for A FEW YEARS NOW. Why do I have to enter the "Master Password" for this browser every time it opens if there were multiple tabs saved on exit? I, as well as the HUNDREDS OF OTHERS who have been asking this question, would love for this to be fixed. This is not a bug, its an issue that is continually IGNORED by the developers, even as they tout the wonders of each new release of Firefox. Any help here?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== It has always been this way

I doubt this will ever be fixed. Calling it a master password is an insult, this is the most annoying bug they introduced in 3.x

There are a bunch of bugs around this and there's an effort to get them fixed but this is ultimately a consequence of loading ALL your tabs at once when you restart. Try an extension like Bar Tab which will load only one tab on startup and this will go away.
