Why does version 136.0 require my Primary Password whatever I'm browsing?

According to Firefox Help, "After you have defined and set your Primary Password, you will be prompted to enter it once for each Firefox session, when Firefox needs access to your stored passwords." But since updating to version 136.0 I get asked for my Primary Password even to see my home page. Why is this?

For Windows 10 this was fixed some time ago. It's been fine in 137.0.2 and is still fine in 138.0

I see from the link that "The team won't be able to fix this regression for 136. We know what the issue is and are assessing how to address it, but we will need a bit of planning.", so now understand why I have the problem - I'm just puzzled that I didn't have it before the 136 update, even though it's been a known problem for a month.

Issue didn't exist in 135; it was reported in beta 136, a month ago. I hope you'll figure it out.

Many thanks for explaining. I find that if I click "Cancel" at that first demand for a password it doesn't ask me again until I go to a site that needs a password.
