Firefox asks for password when I go to Amazon

I do not have a password to use Firefox, and of course Amazon.com does not require a password unless I sign into my account. However, whenever I go to Amazon, a popup asks me for a password, saying that the request comes from Firefox. If I dismiss the popup, I can continue undisturbed with Amazon. I do not find this behavior with other Web sites, so I'm skeptical it's an overall Firefox setting or anything to do with my devices. Not that I can think of my mouse and backup drive as caring about security. Any thoughts?

If you do not use the Primary Password then Firefox may show the dialog to enter some Windows credentials if you visit a page for which you have stored a login in case you have enabled auto fill for logins.
