Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > I think this problem is about private browsing mode used by browser. If
 private browsing mode enabled then password manager can't to keep
 passwords by design (?), and master password is about protecting password
 manager. So this bug is about confuse UX. `Use a master password` option
 should be disallowed (greyed) as well if private browsing mode activated.

 Even if it's confuse UX, vanilla Firefox allows to set/change master
 password while in PBM, and allows to get already saved passwords.
 Torbrowser breaks everything about password stuff while in PBM, browser
 just generate exception for nsILoginManager.

 It's real Torbrowser (5.0 with ESR-38) bug.
