User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0.1 Build ID: 20120905151427 Steps to reproduce: I have logged in to Gmail Actual results: The key appears at left side of the address bar. It does not disappear. Expected results: It should disappear after some period of time (like 5 or 10 minutes), because in case I leave my computer someone can sit there and grab my password. A newbie user may not be aware of that. This is a security issue, if you ask me.
Try to copy the password. It wont work.

You cannot copy but you can see it under Tools -> Options -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords... -> Show Passwords
The key means that you're using valid secure connection. If it disappeared then I'd freak out wondering why my connection isn't secure anymore. Instead try an addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=master%2Bpassword&platform=all&appver=&page=
I don't mean the https one, I mean the one about remembering password http://i.imgur.com/wSzO9.png
