I would like the Master Password to be requested immediately when starting Firefox on Windows or Mac because it often happens that when I complete a search the Password entry box suddenly appears and it is really unpleasant because I never notice it immediately. I don't want to disable the Master Password, I just want it to be required immediately when Firefox starts. Unfortunately, I haven't found a setting to do this. Is there a way to solve this annoying problem? Thank you very much

[EN] In the past, there were extensions that allowed you to request the master password at startup. But they are no longer compatible with the latest versions of Firefox.

[IT] In passato c'erano delle estensioni che permettevano di richiedere la master password all'avvio. Ma non sono più compatibili con le ultime versioni di Firefox
