Hello, recently, my Windows PC always asks for the master password when I open Firefox. The method of removing the master password, then closing Firefox completely and resetting the password the next time I start it doesn't work! Observed in Firefox 136.0.1 in Windows 10 and 11. Also new and surprising is that Windows 11 requires the window pin to be entered before a master password can be set. No security software (except Windows Defender) installed. No new software - except for the regular update of Firefox . The observed behavior is at least very annoying, perhaps frightening( who needs my Windows password?).
Maybe it is a new feature and unwanted "windows security" Wolf Piotrowski I attach a screenshot of "windows security Mozilla" pop up (in a german installation of windows/firefox)
