FF invokes master password without prompt
FF invokes the master password dialogue when starting the app in Mac, even without me going to a web page for which I have saved a password. It does so the minute I open the app. Can this be undone?

I was told some of this is not accurate, but; There is a preference that sets how long the Master Password is unlocked:

Fred, but maybe I explained this poorly. Normally, when I open my browser, the master password dialogue is not invoked unless I go to a site that I have stored a password for in FF. For some reason, from this morning, Firefox brings up this dialogue box even BEFORE I type in ANY url. In other words, even on a blank start page, it prompts the master password dialogue.
OK, I give up. The problem suddenly went away. I restarted a few times, and it has disappeared.
As long as the problem is gone. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.
