Firefox stopped prompting for the master password and I cannot access saved logins in normal mode, only in safe mode. I've disabled add-ons, etc.

Chosen solution

Try to rename/remove the secmode.db file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
