I forgot my Master Password. Accidentally set it up thinking Firefox would use this to automatically put in my password to every site I joined. Instead it turned into an issue, so I tried to disable it and forgot the password. So I resetted it. Now everytime it asks me if I want to store a password to a site, it wants me to make a new Master Password. I just want things to go back to the way they were before I set up the Master Password.

This happened

Not sure how often

== After resetting my Master Password

Rename key3.db and signons.sqlite (Firefox 3.5) and all signons#.txt files (if any exist, Firefox 3.0 uses signons3.txt) in the Profile_Folder.
