Thanks! This add-on finally stopped these annoying repeating pop-ups for the master-password. Love it, every time I launch my FF.

Brilliant, Thanks.
After upgrading FireFox/Thunderbird to a new version, when it starts for the first time and checks for add-ons updates, still asks multiple times for the password. Is there anyway to bypass this too?

Perfect. Should be built in to Firefox and Thunderbird! Prevents the appearance of lots of password prompts at startup, which is a real problem if you have Google Calendar sync and Google Contacts sync with multiple Google accounts.
Note if you cancel the password prompt that this add-on shows, you get exactly the behaviour you'd get if you didn't have the add-on. No drawbacks.

Brilliant addon, if you understand what it does.
It does NOT provide an additional security layer to your profile, it explicitly states that in its settings. This addon simply prevents the master password dialogue from popping up several times during a session and does a great job at that.

A great concept, but it has a fatal flaw:
Upon closing the start-up screen that this add-on creates, Firefox starts up normally.
This basically means that anyone can bypass the "security" this add-on provides with a single click at the start-up.

Works great for both Firefox and Thunderbird. Thank you for fixing a real annoying problem! After enabling FIPS in Firefox and having a few https app tabs as startup page I could get up to ten (sic!) password prompts on a typical Firefox start, before installing StartupMaster.

perfect! saved firefox for me (was going to abbandon it..), btw, put the "quit if password is skipped option" as marked by default, who comes here is usually being annoyed by zillion of pw popups, and it will work promptly without having to go to options, anyway 5 stars of course :D

Fantastic. Got it working fine with version 10.0 by following instructions found here (change it to 10.0): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/startupmaster/reviews/329813/

Just took a few adjustments to install.rdf to add Postbox info and it works as defined. I was very pleased. All I did was locate a known addon for Postbox and copy and paste the Postbox info into the rdf file and rezip. However, Postbox already has a startup password so I'm not sure how much this expands on that feature.

FIRST OF ALL: REALLY SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!
I think this extension is a great workaround for password multirequest bug and should be added to Thunderbird as native.
To let it work with thunderbird 9.0.1 (and later) do as follow:
1. Download the extension (.xpi file)
2. Rename startupmaster-1.3-fx+tb.xpi in startupmaster-1.3-fx+tb.zip (this is not mandatory, but helps)
3. Unzip startupmaster-1.3-fx+tb.zip or open it with any archive manager (like winzip)
4. Find the file install.rdf and open it with a simple text editor. This file is located in the root directory of the zip file.
5. Find the tag <em:maxVersion>. There are two occurrence of this: one in the <!-- Firefox -->
section and the other one in the <!-- Thunderbird --> section. The number next to this tag tells xpi installer wich is the max version this add-on works on. For example in the Firefox section you can see that the maximum version that this extension is compatible for is the 4.0b7.
6. Change the version numbers to the one you are interested in. For example in the Firefox section you can replace the string 4.0b7 with the string 9.1
7. add the modified file to the zip file or zip all the folder again and change file extension to .xpi
8. Install and use the extension
If you trust me you can download the modified xpi from here: http://www.zazy.it/temp/startupmaster-1.3-fx+tb-up.to.ver.9.3.xpi
I say sorry to developers for modifying their extension but it is over a month that it doesn't work anymore... if anyone is offended please just let me know.
WARNING: It's not guaranteed that this extension works with all future release of Thunderbird and firefox. I don't use it in Firefox and i'm actually successful using it with Thunderbird 9.0.1

Does one thing and does it well.
This addon is the only fix I could find, for the duplicate master password prompt bug in Lightning's Provider for Google Calendar.
