The "software security device" is likely to be Firefox's cryptographic
module responsible for storing any passwords you entered into some web
site in a way at least modestly "secure". You can use the "Security"
part of Firefox's configuration options to set a master password or
(more recommendable) stay away from storing any sort of login
information in your browser after all. :)

Cheers & best,
Kristian
