I just upgraded to Firefox 5 and created a master password. Now, when I go to a particular web page which has no login or password requirements associated with it, I get the message "Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device." The window goes away when I click on "cancel" and I can access the web page OK. But it is annoying.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
