Setting the master password in a recent Firefox version removes the issue of it being required in order to insert a certificate into the DB. Entering the master password before we try to inject the certificate, in the same session, works around it for that one particular injection.

[edit] It looks like just entering the password is indeed enough to cause the cert DB to migrate to the new format and fix the problem.
