firefox login manager is locked

[ajw1100]

Hello.
I have set up a backup/sync that syncs my FF Profile. Now I must say I am not very good at sorting out PC errors so please bear with me.
Whenever I sync my FF profile in BT Cloud, BT Cloud reports multiple error-sync- (Long Number) There are pages of these error-sync files:

There are 3 A4 pages of this text that I do not understand, and in total I must have 100's of pages in total after syncing. THe most errors seem to say "the login manager is locked"
Any clues or advice for a less than knowledgeable OAP would be appreciated!!

Many thanks

This is likely because you use a Primary Password and canceled the prompt to enter the Primary Password and unlock the passwords stored in the Password Manager.

Thank you for your reply, I think there must be more to this than cancelling the Master Login Password. I rarely cancel this and then continue browsing, I do however shut FF down when I have finished then later I may open FF again and re-enter my password.
Also to generate 3 A4 pages of text just for cancelling the login seems rather extreme!
How, may I ask, does one 'Lock' the login manager in the first place? If I knew why it might give me a clue.
I guess this error log is somewhere in my FF Profile as this is synced in BT Cloud which is where I first noticed this error message.

If you close and restart Firefox then you need to enter the primary password again.
You may have security software that blocks access to logins.json if this isn't about the master/primary password.

Thank you for your reply and for the formatting! I did try but it didn't work
I use BitDefender TS software and have done for many years, always kept updated. I have not had any problems with the Mater Password and subsequent logins so am at a loss, I think I should check each day what error messages are generated. If I only use the FF PWord login once or not at all or many times and see what error reports are generated. I suppose I could just ignore them but I would like to find the problem if I can. Little problems can grow into bigger problems.....
I still need to find out how, or why, the login manager becomes 'Locked'.
