Steps to reproduce:

Head to a website when master password is enabled. Firefox will prompt for the master password using a generic pop-up dialog box.

Actual results:

Password dialog pops up, but doesn't say what it is or what its for. This can be easily reproduced in a phishing attack.

Expected results:

Perhaps embed the master password user input request within the main window. In such a way that it cannot be reproduced from a website
