Bug#605699: iceweasel: Spam of master key password windows when starting

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.15-1
Severity: normal
When starting, iceweasel can reopen all the previously opened windows.
If some pages need authentication with credentials stored in the "Saved
Passwords" system, the master password window is opened to ask for it.
If there are many pages that needs a stored credential, as many windows
may open, each one grabbing the Xserver focus from the other and messing
up the input... Painful to type all the password at every restart. :-(
If the network is slow enough, the typist agile and iceweasel not
overwhelmed by swapping out to open all the pages, one can be lucky and
having to type the password only once...
Instead we should have only one master password window opened at most.
It looks like the algorithm is to open a new window each time the master
password is needed and is not set, instead of to open a new window each
time is needed, is not set and such a window is not already opened.
This bug is in the wild for 1 or 2 years, so I guess it is time for me
to report it since it is not solved for a while. :-)
Thank you for your support.
