Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have used the firefox password security system for about six months. Today I decided to re categorize my bookmarks. When I went to my Arts folder I noticed that one of the tags was my firefox password! Clicking on it took me onto a Nude Art web site. Although I may have bookmarked this website at some point in the past (can't remember) I would not have used my Master Password as the tag line for it.
I use Ubuntu 8.04 on an MSI 670 laptop.
