Hi,
I'm having issues with the Master Password feature, i set up a new password to protect my passwords and now i can't see the list, when i try to log in it just repeat it self with an endless loop. i can't click "cancel" nigher "ok" i just need to kill the process. the password also pops up when i start firefox and then i need to cancel it and then firefox comes up. another issue is that now firefox doesn't remember any of my password and every single login page i enter to , the master password pops up, it also contradicts with the "Gmail Notifier" addon and it prevents it from login in.

So, it sounds like you set a master password and then forgot its value. If the password you entered when prompted is incorrect, the prompt repeats until you either enter a correct value or click cancel.

If you can't remember the master password, you'll need to reset it. See http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forgot+my+master+password

Getting more prompts after clicking cancel is a known bug, already fixed in Firefox 3.

ohh i see it's really buggy issue, sometimes i need to kill the process because when i click cancel the dialog box never closed.
the dialog box also pops up when i start firefox, very weird abd every login page i go to.
thanks for the reply, by the way.
