[Bug 1464568] [NEW] the master password dialog doesn't identify itself

Public bug reported:

When firefox prompts for the master password, a dialog appears asking
for a password with text "Please enter the master password for the
Software Security Device."  But nowhere does it identify itself as
firefox nor does it explain which profile is asking for a password.

This is particularly important because firefox doesn't necessarily ask
for the master password at obvious times -- sometimes several minutes
after launch (with previous session's tabs opening in the background)
firefox will decide it's time, and meanwhile the firefox window is
hidden and I'm no longer thinking about firefox.  In the event of
multiple profiles, I have to guess which profile's master password is
being requested.
