AFAIK this has nothing to do with master password. Master password is not send to Sync service and user is not required to set master password on other Firefox instances, but it's good to keep Sync in mind.

This is also an option but it requires more libsecret binding: Getting list of passwords for Saved Passwords dialog and allow to remove individual records if we want to keep Saved Passwords and Sync working. Personally I would stay with currently easiest solution which is storing user defined master password to libsecret's keyring. It's up to user to set strong password for Firefox and Keyring. They have probably weak password now because they have to retype it frequently. If they didn't have to they would eventually set stronger password. It's also smaller change to introduce new bugs since we're doing lesser change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217300 Title: Seahorse integration Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The Seahorse SSH integration totally rocks!
