Why do I need master password every time I open Firefox?
Been using Firefox for years. All of a sudden (61.0.2) I am required to enter my password every time I want to get on the Internet. Why? This keeps up, I'll use a different default browser!

This can happen if you are using Sync. The credentials (email and password) of the Firefox account used for Sync are stored in the Password Manager and you need to enter the master password to make it possible to connect to the Sync account. You can check the "Options/Preferences -> Firefox Account" tab or the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list to see if you use Sync.
Otherwise you may have set a startup page for which you have saved a password.
