My Thunderbird was upgranded last friday to version 45.1.0. Today I was using it and the system keeps asking for master password. Even when I try to send an email, it ask me the password again.

I tried to desable master password option, but the problem remains!

What can I do?

There is a known problem with multiple master password prompts. The workaround is to install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/startupmaster/

What does 'I tried' mean exactly? Did you disable the master password or not?
