Firefox Nightly keeps asking for my Master Password! I think it's hacked! No matter if I upgrade it, it keeps happening. Please help!

I think Nightly isn't a Official part of the FF forum here that is a separate from FF itself and you need to contact the Nightly Forum about this problem.

Nightly just refers to one of the development channels of Firefox. Release < Beta (b#) < Nightly (a1). There is also the Developers edition (Aurora) that is same as Beta but with additional dev features. There is no Nightly forum.

The more bleeding edge Nightly channel builds of Firefox gets checkins with two updates each day. This can lead to issue(s) until fixed, finished, or reverted.
