My master password is active without me logging in. How do I keep the master password to one session?
My master password has always reset between browsing sessions. Now, when I start FIrefox, I am already "logged in". The browser remembers my site passwords without me re-logging in. I find this disturbing. How do I get my master password login to reset between sessions?

The browser is supposed to remember your passwords. The master password protects all of these remembered usernames and passwords to stop their unauthorised use except by you.
You must have removed the master password.
Go Tools>options>security>use master password and enter your master password again ....I'd say it is not ticked right now as it was removed.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
So if you keep (allow) those cookies then you are still logged on.
If tabs with pages from the previous session are opened automatically then the cookies are stored as part of the session data.
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
The browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.
