The Thunderbird installer do not import my Mozilla password during install,
whereas firefox did it in right way.
I tried 2 times. It do not ask the main password, and ask my mail password
again. All other settings, included usernames, are imported.
The installer should import encrypted password, as well as the master one.
After all, they'd use the same algo of mozilla, no?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have last mozilla installed, have a bunch of e-mails/newsgroup
2. have passord stored as encrypted, with a master password.
3. install Thunderbird (I use custom install, without altering a single setting)


Actual Results:  
Run Thunderbird: it dont ask the master pwd. It asks you each mail password!
User names are imported, anyway.

Expected Results:  
import the mail passwords, import the master password from Mozilla.
