Why I'm asked for my Master Password seems troublesome.

Hello Matt, fellow archaeologist :)
Security updates are essential on any and all software, specially your browser. Mozilla is working to streamline the updating process as much as possible, but you shouldn't neglect your own security for a few seconds of "wasted" time.
I hope you do the best for yourself.

Firefox Asks for Unnecessary Master Password Upon Every Startup

Upon start up, Firefox unnecessarily asks for my master password every time. My home page (Google Finance) does not require a password. This occurs in safe mode as well. This is annoying and time wasting. I have to X-out the master password request window about 10 seconds after I start Firefox. Why does it do this? ... Firefox did not used to do this.

The cited solutions involve either removing the Master Password, or using an add-on which requires an initial password. Neither is a true solution to the problem. If I remove the use of a Master Password and my machine were stolen, then the passwords would be accessible to a thief. So, I do want a Master Password. The question ... and problem ... is this: why does Firefox request a password upon startup when it does not yet need one? And, how can this be turned off? From my memory, it did not used to do that.

Firefox asks for a master password on startup, instead of only when accessing passwords.

I have a master password set, which is asked for if I go to a site that requires a password I've set, or if I want to check my passwords.
Lately, it's started asking for the password on starting Firefox. I can enter the password, or just close the box or hit 'cancel'. Doing any of those things lets me browse, but the latter two at least result in getting the "please enter the master password for the software security device" box again and again.
I DO want a master password, but I DON'T want it to be asked for when I start browsing.

Firefox Sync also requires a Master Password to get the user name, password, and sync key from the Password Manager (Software Security device).

When the Firefox homepage opens I get a window asking for the master password security device - - - also a fake Adobe window asks me to update: malware.

Apparently, I'm not the first.
Other than "x-ing" the Pop-Ups can these be totally eliminated. I know that the Adobe Pop-ups are fake . . . and add malware. I just had to re-install my OS and get a new hard-drive. I want to keep my computer clean.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

Z10 and Q10 frequently asking for Office 365 password

I have an AT&T Z10, and a client has a Verizon Z10 and 2 Verizon Q10s. Both of us use Office 365 as our email service. With the lack of BB10 support in BBCS (Blackberry Cloud Service for Office 365) I was forced to set up all these devices on ActiveSync. For the most part this is working OK. However each user has either been prompted for the Office 365 password multiple times in a day, or they don't notice the prompt and the ActiveSync account is marked as invalid on the Accounts list in setup.
I have looked everywhere within the Office 365 administration console and can find nothing related to asking for the password frequently. I did find settings to control if the device has a password, but nothing related to the device prompting for the Exchange password.
I am only annoyed by it, but my client is getting quite frustrated and is questioning whether they will bother upgrading their other 20 Blackberry devices to BB10s, or look at other devices. Either some direction to solve this ActiveSync problem, or a likely date for BBCS to be BES10 would be helpful.

My user with a Q10 has had this same issue with our Office 365 account. Seems to work fine for a few days then randomly stops getting new email. Go in and reenter his Office 365 password and all is well again... for a few days when it seems to lose it again.
We have about 15 iPhone's of various flavor and 3 Android HTC One's with no issues on O365.

When I updated the latest software on my iPad2, every time I wake my iPad, it asks for a Yahoo password to an account that isn't mine.

Has my iPad been hacked? I can cancel the Yahoo login, but it is very annoying.

No, the account login only started showing up after updating the software to 5.1.
The Yahoo account isn't anyone that has access to my iPad2.
A glitch(?) in the software update??? I can't find anything in my settings regarding the account that's asking for the password. I guess I'll restore and re-install the update again.

How can I make Firefox ask for the master password if the PC has been idle?

If I leave the browser open it retains all the passwords even if the pc goes into sleep mode.

how do i engage my 8 core mac pro to use all it's cores when using final cut pro and other applications that need processing power? at the moment they seem to be idle...

First, did you use Setup or Migration Assistant? That can happen when coming from a PowerMac or sometimes even from another (Intel) Mac.
Second, wait for the next version of Final Cut due very soon to ship (may have to wait for the ".1" of course to clean up any early issues.

There are a few apps that are better. I think you can run multiple instances of Handbrake for one.

HT3131 how do i get audio from my HDTV when using a hdmi cable and mini displayport??

How do I get audio to display from my HDTV when I'm using a hmdi cable and a mini-displayport adapter on a macbook late 2008??

The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

I tried resetting my Master Password using "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul", but when I click on "Change Master Password" it asks for my CURRENT password. I don't have a current password, because I don't remember it and am trying to reset it!

Using FF 4.01 for laptops & desktops, Windows XP 2002 SP3. I used "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul" to reset the Master Password. Then went to Tools/Options/Security, clicked on "Change Master Password". BUT it asks for my CURRENT password and new password. I don't know my current password. Is there a default Master Password that I need to input as the Current password?

If you still have a Master Password set then it looks that resetting the MP hasn't worked.
If using the chrome url (chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul) doesn't work then delete the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/key3.db key3.db] and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox.
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.

When using 6.0 beta and 7.0 beta on my MacBookPro, I am (too) frequently asked for my master password. This doesn't occur in other programs. Do I have some evil code in my Firefox program?
