i was recently fidgeting with the password manager when the master password popped up, and even though i never set a master password, my usual one wouldn't be accepted. it wouldn't let me delete the master password either. not even reinstalling Firefox did any good.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Firefox options
2.view saved passwords
3.type in usual password, even though you never remember making a "Master Password"

Actual Results:  
"Please enter the master password" over and over again.

Expected Results:  
not ask for a master password

I don't understand this.. if you never set a master password, what is your "usual one"?
