I started to use the master password functionnality a few days ago, and I was
surprised when I first saw the prompt for the master password as it is (or looks
like) a simple javascript popup. I'm not an expert, but could such a popup be
generated by a website to gather passwords? IMO its designe should be changed to
be easily recognized by the user as an official firefox dialog box.
