Steps to reproduce:

Waited for my Master Password for firefox to launch it never did

Actual results:

It launched after about several minutes after waiting

Expected results:

Firefox master password should be launching more quickly and failing to do so

Probably doesn't need to stay hidden.

Yesterday July the 28th came online to use Firefox and
Master Password failed to launch to request for my
password and I even navigated the Firefox web browser
so after several hours online i closed Firefox than it
requested for my Master Password but i don't understand
doesn't need to stay hidden somethings not working here.

Hello, the master password is only requested when it's needed to decrypt saved logins (or client certificates), including if Firefox Sync needs to authenticate to perform a sync. Why were you expecting a master password prompt? What problem did it cause you that the prompt was delayed until later?
