Why doesn't the quality meter approve of any of my choices of master passwords, no matter how I mix both letters, digits and non-alphanumeric characters?
I tried to create a master password, but it couldn't be done 'cause the quality meter never accepted any of my passwords, even though I used a very complicated mix of letters, digits and special characters as well.

There are no requirements when setting Firefox's master password. The password quality meter is purely informative.
If you're trying to fill the bar all the way, that's unlikely unless you create a lengthy password, or a very complex mix of special characters, digits and lowercase and uppercase letters. Keep in mind the master password should be easily remembered and typed in, time after a time. A highly secure password that is easily mistyped or forgotten is of no use.
