[Jeff Abrahamson <1464568@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To be clear, this is a feature request.
I propose simply that the dialog title change to something like

"firefox: please enter your master password"
(if only one profile exists)

or

"firefox: please enter your master password for profile p"
(if multiple profiles exist)

Title:
  the master password dialog doesn't identify itself

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
