When and how SM asks for your Master really depends (or should depend)
on how you have your prefs set - for ex.; I'm set for SM to ask for the
Master the first time it's required, so it should not ask at startup
because you haven't done anything - unless your Home page has a stored
password for login, it should wait the user polls for new mail/messages
in Mail/News, or visits a site with a stored password. So in theory, a
user should be able to go for a whole session without ever having SM ask
for the Master depending on what he's doing. But that doesn't seem to
be the case, and I had to do the about:config workaround in spite of my
Pref settings when I upgraded to 2.0.
At least that's how it worked at one point, and it got broken sometime
prior to and during SM 1.1.18, when SM started asking for my Master
seemingly at random - and freezing the app; example - if I'm in the
middle of trying to download something with a dialog box up, SM will
often ask for my Master when it's not required and freeze - I have to do
a Force Quit and start over. So far, I can't recall seeing this happen
with 2.x.x - at least not the freezing part.

[ Bug 506638 - migrated SM2 from SM1 is asking for master password
after first start even when no master password was set in SM1.1.x ]
Yes. It's also asking for it at seemingly "random" times when it is not
required, when it is set - before I have navigated to a page with a
stored password, or opened Mail/News. But I haven't seen it freeze
2.0.1 like I have with 1.1.18. As mentioned, I've used the about:config
tweek to get around the startup issue...but it still asks at random
during general browsing when it is not required.
