[Solved] Master Password Change?

.
Noticed recently that on launch FF asks for MPW. In the past it only asked initially when going to a site where a login was required.

Did I miss something?

Are you using a Firefox Account? Like for Sync and other Mozilla / Firefox services.

Did you try Safe Mode in case an extension is causing it?

Does not happen in safe mode. Will post if I figure out which extension.

No joy. Disabled all extensions manually and issue remains. Will check when I have time with a blank profile.

I understand that. If I don't enter a MPW when I launch FF I will be asked to do so if I go to Saved Logins. However that does not answer the question of why I am asked for my MPW when I launch FF which opens in a blank page.

Must be something in my profile since it also happens with beta and Nightly which use identical profiles.

This was always the case for me. If I have MPW on FF then on every launch of FF I have to enter the password. The popup always shows after a couple of seconds. I thought that was normal. Maybe it is, and you not having it until now was not normal? Got me.

do you still have the hotfix update intermediate xpi installed? then uninstall please.

Have it. Is there a way to uninstall other than simply deleting it from my profile?

i think the easiest way is to open profilefolder\extensions and delete it. it wont come back as the issue was fixed with 65.0.4.

That did it. Thank you.
