Dale,
While your topic is Mozilla security related, this group is primarily
used for discussion of the Web PKI. I'm not sure where the best place
to ask your question would be.

Unlike Firefox desktop, Firefox Android has no master password
protection. Any passwords in the password store are accessible
simply by clicking on the password once the phone is unlocked,
which might be protected by nothing more than a relatively
weak swipe pattern, as a long/complex screenlock password is
overkill for all purposes except their password store for some
users.
Aside from the inconvenience factor, users may also still
accidentally sync all their passwords to mobile. This can
happen as a result of including passwords in the list of
things to sync in settings on desktop. There is no way, for
example, to sync passwords across devices which have better
security options (eg Desktop) but not sync passwords to mobile
devices. Users may not realize this when configuring sync on
their other devices, leading to all the passwords syncing to
their mobile Firefox.
Why has Mozilla never addressed these security concerns (eg.
with a a simple master password option)?
