(window look should be unique)

I've 20 years in I.T. and I had no idea what Firefox was asking me for. "Device"? A "device" is a physical gadget, not a piece of software. Do not use this word in the dialog. "Please enter the master password" or something similar would be much less concerning to users. I too thought my Firefox had been infected with malware when I first saw this dialog box.

== Additional remark (important) ==
The window should have something unique, which makes it different from the typical javascript pop-ups. The reason is that this looks like something that could be faked easily by a site to obtain your master password.
