Hello,

Since few weeks I always get the same prompt popping up WHENEVER I try to log in a website: "Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device" I set one, I know it, I also know how to remove this but I've heard it's a quite important security feature so I'd like to know if there is any way for me to keep it WHILE not having it popping up every single time I log in...

It doesn't matter the website or whether FF already asked to remember my password.

Thanks, Pierre

In Firefox 4+ the Master Password expires after 30 minutes and needs to be re-entered when required (i.e. a password is saved from the current domain).
