Actually there is an easier work around - you just have to 1. enter your password 2. restart your browser You are prompted to enter your master password in a couple of situations: a) when you click "View Saved Logins" in the security section of about:preferences b) if you create a sync account c) if if you have a sync enabled you are prompted on login d) when you try to save credentials from a website. So if you are blocked the easier is probably (a) - ie try to view your saved logins and then you will have to enter your password. Note that you DO have to restart after entering your password. ------------------------------- On a technical level, the theory being discussed in channel is that cert8 -> cert9 db migration is blocked on authenticating.
