What's the problem? All you have do is click on Edit, Preferences, Security, Passwords, Use a Master Password.

Easy as pie.

Why, that's almost as easy as remembering the new number to dial emergency services!

How about I put it this way:

"All you have to do is go to password settings and click the button"

And you only have to go there once ever.

I think it's usually assumed users can navigate menus, because even if they can't there's not much you can do to help them at this point.

Users can navigate menus. But given the out-of-the-way location of the "Use a master password" checkbox, what percentage of Firefox's users even know of it's existence? It's likely pretty low.

It's right there in the security tab. TWO clicks.

1. open preferences

2. click on security

And it's RIGHT THERE. That's about as obvious as I can imagine it.

What about in Chrome?
As far as I know there's no such feature on Chrome.
