How do you get rid of master password promt box?

How do you get rid of the master password prompt box without getting rid of using the master passwords feature? I like that my passwords are locked so no one can see them but I get annoyed when I have to type my master password in every time I open up a web page. Would like to only type in master password when I want to view my saved passwords. Does any one know how to remove the annoying box?

Sorry, that isn't the only purpose of the Master Password feature, "locking" your Saved Password dialog from being viewed.
