Comment 120 for bug 217300

Investing time is always a tradeoff. I have a long list of projects to dramatically improve Firefox for users, and unfortunately the feature this bug about ranks poorly against that list. The number of users using a master password and linux is relatively tiny, and there are number hurdles to even making this a feature suitable to ship (see Brain's previous posts for a few). That's why an add-on is the right route to take.
