After clicking Save on the "Firefox Cares About Your Privacy" dialog in plugin 1.5b6, the dialog tells me that the Strength of my sync key is a short [red bar].  Red is bad, especially when it's a password strength dialog.  Is this the appropriate thing to be showing for our machine-generated sync key?

Incidentally, I have to type close to 100 extra characters into the dialog to get the bar into the green.

BUG: generated sync key should not trigger UI that says "your key is weak".
Correct, that strength meter should not appear as long as you're sticking with the generated key. (Changed the summary accordingly.)

Summary: the generated sync key is Strength: [red bar] (which is bad, right?) → Printing/saving the generated sync key enables the strength meter
