(Get the code!)
I have been using this now for a while. I don't suppose that my usage is typical. I have literally hundreds of stored passwords. I use FF portable and my sessions travel with me. My browsing sessions may span weeks. I seldom ever open a fresh session. My current session is very light having just closed perhaps a dozen tabs. I am left with 12 tabs, half of which are logged in, including this one. Most of them expire in 20 minutes to half an hour. I use the master password timeout addon with a timeout of 5 minutes so I get frequent prompts. I may carry my portable drive to different computer several times a day. I mention all this to support that this addon seems to absolutely fix the problem. I get a single prompt prior to FF launch instead of, if this session were restarted, 6 prompts, none of which would actually work.
This an old bug. Hubai Tamas seems to have corrected it. Unless there are some things that it causes problems for IMHO it should be considered as a built in fix.
Thanks Hubai
