Do you have it set in preferences to use a master password for your 
passwords?
I am unable to reproduce this without using the master password pref.
To find out open preferences and go to security and see if the box next 
to Use master password is checked. if so uncheck it and it will no 
longer do that. If its not checked please follow the instructions at: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs
to use a new profile and see if you can reproduce it than.
