I've set a master password for Firefox. When Firefox starts, it strangely opens two separate password request windows. When I type in the master password and hit enter, Firefox opens without problems, but the other password request window stays there. I simply close it but it's annoying. Why are there 2 windows as it's enough to type the password once? I've upgraded Firefox from 3.5.5 to 3.5.6 but the problem remains. Any comments?
PS:
The latest news from this issue can be followed from the related Mozilla Support Forum.
The problem re-emerged when I downgraded Firefox from v4 to v3.6.16. Then the new version (3.6.17) was released, I upgraded to that version, and the problem was solved.

A possible workaround is to use: Startup Master - A Firefox Addon.
The issue may be that some addon is trying to access a site for which you have saved your login credentials in the password manager. Hence when it tries to access the site, it prompts for a password. (may be 2 addons doing that the same time)
