I see this in seamonkey 1.1.1 if I set the master password to last for only 5 minutes. When it checks mail, it needs the master password. Each such check seems to display a new master password request. I came in this morning and there were 72 of them!!!

The correct action is to block on the first request until the user answers it.

As a result, it is only feasible to set Mozilla to ask for the Master Password the first time it is needed. This makes things a lot less secure IMHO.
