Bug#594182: iceweasel: dozens of 'master password' requests upon restoring tabs

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.11-1
Severity: normal


When the iceweasel tabs are being restored upon a startup (for example,
after a crash or machine shutdown or deliberate close with saving window
state), if the user had several tabs open that require password stored in
iceweasel and protected with master password, there seems to be a race
condition that makes iceweasel open not one, but dozens of modal windows
asking:

"Password Required
Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device"

Normally, it should open only one such modal window (which then unlocks
passwords for all sites). It seems that the bug is more easily provoked the
more windows requiring stored passwords you have, and the faster the link to
the webservers.
