In Firefox mobile, all numbers will not work as Master Password

I have the latest version of FF mobile installed on the Lollipop 5.02. When I try to set a Master Password, the "OK" stays grayed out/not clickable if my password is all numbers. (FF on Windows allows all numbers.)

Yes, as a general matter, I know all numbers is not a great PW, but since my phone's encrypted and someone would have to first get past my phone pw to get to my FF password, all numbers seems adequate.

So, is this a bug? Either way, is there a page somewhere that lists the field requirements for the Master Password Field?

Hi igorok2

I don't know if this is a bug, feel to file one a bug bugzilla.mozilla.org if think one should be filed.

I and most users don't use master password because it doesn't really provide a benefit to most including myself especially on phones with fingerprint scanners. Your mileage may vary :-) lots of people seem to be passionate about this.

Cheers! ...Roland
