Steps to reproduce are simple - have a Profile with a Master
Password...open SM, sit back and wait. Like I said - *random*. I've
even put a stop watch on it and I can't even tie it to a regularly
occurring time interval.
It's happened twice as I was typing this...but that's not always when or
how it happens. If I had had a download in progress I would have had to
Force Quit SM and have lost this session...*&#$!!!
And then it keeps happening, but I seem to recall reading something here
that if the Master is asked for once it will continue to be asked for -
which is fine by me, it's that SM is seemingly ignoring my Pref setting
to not prompt until the first time it is "required". This happens when
I'm not doing anything to "require" it that I can tell. As stated in
the bug.
I'm not doing anything specific, and as I noted in the bug it doesn't
seem to happen with a Profile where I have no Master Password set.
Have you tried with a clean/new test profile?
Have you tried your existing profiles with add-ons disabled?
If so you haven't indicated that in the bug report, or in this thread.

Yes - I have done *all* of the above. On several different machines.
The only difference I've observed is that the random requests only cease
if a Profile *doesn't* have a Master Password set. I've also scanned
all of my machines to insure they are all free of virus or malware.
I've also asked here if SM polls in the background in some manner which
isn't obvious to the user that would invoke a request for Master
Password - that's why I looked for some sort of timing thing and used a
stopwatch...it seems to truly occur randomly. I'm not sure I got an
actual answer to this question.
It's just happened now...again. And again, this used to not happen
until some 1.1.x release - SM used to work per my Preference setting
(ask at first time required), which it seems to be ignoring.
...and it just happened *again*.
This thread (mine from 2009) might be of interest:

Try the first recommendation by Ricardo (setting email query times). And
as a swag: set "mail.biff.on_new_window" to false.
Well...that's why I asked the question about checking in the background
- I have (and have always had) my Mail pref set to check for new mail
manually; i.e., "check for new messages every X minutes" is unchecked,
as is "check for new messages at startup". It's interesting that my
Mail account is a POP3 account, though. If this bug does apply, then SM
is also ignoring my pref setting(s) in this regard as well.
I just checked about: config, and "mail.biff.on_new_window" *is* set to
false...now what?..
