Prompted to enter the master password when closing Firefox

Hello,

If I did not enter the master password earlier during the working session, I am prompted to enter it when I shutdown Firefox! Any suggestion of how I can know which extension or configuration feature is making this, so I can stop it? I add that I do not use the sync feature... Thank you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Do nothing. After a few minutes, shut Firefox down. Is the problem still there?
