Why isn't there a delay on asking for master password?

I love the master password to protect my logins, but it would be really great if you guys added in a delay. I should be able to set it to where I only have to enter my password once a day or once every 2-3 hours. Yes, of course leave the option to have it pop-up every session, but I really wish I didn't have to do it everytime I open firefox.

Hi, I do not know if this matters anymore or if it is still relevant.

If using Sync. Disconnect from it. If setting is to connect is it doing so when getting asked for your password.

You can also go this route but it will ask each start up also ; https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=Pasword%20Manager

Did you set your own Homepage/s?

Like web pages that have a login form that Firefox will "see" and want to autofill.
