    Everytime I log into DP here and my website, a tool bar thing POPS up and this is what it says.

    Says something about I need to enter the master password for the security system. And I click cancel and does not let me log in. I cleared cache and still pops up but when I click cancel it logs me in...

    This problem just started happening...

    Any hints?

    Never heard of that! sounds like spyware!!

    just the 2 sites though?

    do you have an auto password or toolbar installed that would be freaking out?

    sometime before, you logged on to DP and answered "Yes" when Firefox asked you if you wanted to add your DP login to the master password list

    go into Tools >> Options >> Security to edit your password preferences

    It should only ask if you want to save your password in DP and not really ask for you to input it.

    Asking for the password is just not right.

    what it is doing is detecting a login form on DP and in order for Firefox to auto-populate that form with your username and password, you have to give it your "Master" password.

    I speak of this under the assumption that souljaboytellem is actually seeing from using Firefox

    Straight from the Firefox help files:

    "master password

    A password used to protect saved passwords and other private data.
    Firefox will prompt you for your master password when you wish to
    access this data. If you have multiple security devices, each security device will require a separate master password."
