I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox and I was trying to store a password but it
asks for the master password.  When I go to set my master password it will not
allow me, it tells me I have to change my password that I never set to begin with.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Tools, select Options
2.Go to Saved Password
3.

Actual Results:  
My only option is to change my password, but I do not have a previous password.

Expected Results:  
Gave me the option to create a new password.

Something went wrong in your profile, and now you need to reset your master
password. 
See here how to you can do that : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password

There will be improvement to the master password GUI in Firefox 1.1  that will
make easy to reset the password and no more require the arcane method described
in the kb, they are already available in the trunk version.

Closing the bug.
