Hello Samas, I think I figured out the problem that I have. It seems to be a timing issue. In the sidebar, I have Gmarks opened, which needs a password. Therefore it asks for the master password. My start URL is my personalized iGoogle page, which also needs a password, taken from the master password.
That's the reason why I am asked twice. If I can enter the first one very fast (which I can't - I am human), FF will know the master password and will no ask a second time. For test purposes, I switched my start URL to a web page which does not need a password. Voilà, it works.
