User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

Go in incognito mode, search for anything in reddit through google. Every single tab you open, you get a prompt for a master password that tries to auto complete your login from non-incognito.

Actual results:

Prompt keeps happening for every new tab. Double down on this not making any sense since I didn't even click the login button. It's quite annoying if I open 5 different tabs to read multiple topics and get the master password pop up preventing any action until I close it. At the very least remember the fact that I did not enter the master password so stop prompting me.

Expected results:

Don't prompt me for master password if I'm in incognito mode. Or at least remember my decision not to enter it and stop showing the same pop up on every tab. I haven't even clicked the login button
