That value controls the "Master Password"   If you don't have a master
password setup (Edit->Preferences->Security->Passwords), then this
value doesn't do anything.  If you do have a master password set, the
password_lifetime value is only useful if you have security.
ask_for_password set = 2 in about:config

If you set things like that though, it actually would/should pretty
much just continually ask you for your master password no matter what
you are doing, not just when you send.

Here are more details about those about:config options:
