Bug Description
When using auto-login in Lubuntu 20.04 LTS, browsing firefox causes firefox to send a request to the default keyring to unlock.
The problem is, it doesn't provide any information about what application is making the request. This can be disorienting to the user, especially since the security prompt locks out the system until you enter the password or press cancel, with no hints about why you're getting the message.

I have verified that it is firefox, by removing ~/.local/

I am not sure what program is handling the default keyring on lubuntu. Would it be possible for firefox to supply its name when interacting with the default keyring?
