I have found that I can leave the master device password empty, press cancel in the dialog box, yet the browser still opens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click firefox icon on desktop
2. Master Password dialog box pops up
3. Leave password box blank (no entry)
4. Press "Cancel"

Actual Results:  
Browser opens anyway

Expected Results:  
Same

Blocked access to browser
This is expected -- the master password only protects stored passwords.

Bug 280662 is the RFE for having the master password encrypt more things in the profile.
