The user is asked for the Master password the first time per session that Firefox needs to access the stored passwords. If you would have a page that wants login as your Homepage, you would be asked when Firefox is first opened.

thats the problem, firefox asking for master password in random time, not always when I need for forms.
Are you using Sync?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
