WHen I open Firefox and again during the session, it asks me for my master password, even if I am not on a page asking for a login.

I have the same issue. I don't know, but I would hazard a guess that it may be because I have accounts that stay logged in. Firefox could be asking for the password to make sure that it isn't an unauthorized user using the computer and, therefore, gaining access to the account(s).
