Now, let me argue against myself.
Shouldn't the users that care about protecting their passwords be using
full-disk encryption with a system password already? Why don't we just
remove the master password mechanism on Linux completely, and rely on
users use of operating-system-level protection of their whole profile?
That is, wouldn't the best UI be this?:
Mozilla recommends that you use a system password
and full-disk encryption to protect your data; if
you do that, then a master password is not very
helpful. We still support using a master password
for now, but we highly recommend against using
one, and we may remove this misfeature in a
future version.
[ ] Use a master password:
New Password: [ ]
Confirm Password: [ ]

The Seahorse SSH integration totally rocks!
Would it be possible to integrate Firefox with Seahorse to manage web site
passwords or the Firefox master password?
