User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20170805085114 Steps to reproduce: Setting a master password helps to protect the saved passwords from being viewed. However, it doesn't protect the use of those passwords. I can auto-login to my email accounts, and Facebook and many sites without being prompted for password. On some sites though the Master Password prompt pop-up once (per session). The way it is now, anyone with access to the computer can launch the Firefox and gain access to most of the password-protected sites. It would be a good enhancement to prompt for master-password, if a master-password is set, and block all saved login sites if password is not entered correctly, or block launch altogether.
