Need entering master password many times before using TB

I set a master password for my ThunderBird. At startup of ThunderBird, two or three (mostly three) prompt windows of entering master password come up together. I have to deal with all of them before using ThunderBird.

The problem seems to be long lasting (since Sept 2018, I think) and is cross-distribution (I have this problem on both Manjaro Linux and Arch Linux and both KDE and Deepin DE). Maybe it has been on bugzilla but I failed to find it.
