People

(Reporter: albeec13, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Wait for master password dialog to pop up.

Actual results:

The master password dialog box has only a gear icon, but no other indication that it's part of Firefox. This makes it non-obvious that it's not a popup from some other subsystem or application and could be exploited by phishing apps.

Expected results:

The dialog should have some indication that it's part of Firefox, perhaps a more application-specific icon and some text, minimally, but ideally something more that is not easily spoofable. It also does not appear to be modal, which makes it even less obvious.
