Public bug reported:
When using auto-login in Lubuntu 20.04 LTS, browsing firefox causes
firefox to send a request to the default keyring to unlock.
The problem is, it doesn't provide any information about what
application is making the request. This can be disorienting to the user,
especially since the security prompt locks out the system until you
enter the password or press cancel, with no hints about why you're
getting the message.

I have verified that it is firefox, by removing ~/.local/share/keyrings
directory, and restarting the system. When firefox is opened again, you
get a new message asking you to create a new password for the default
keyring.

I am not sure what program is handling the default keyring on lubuntu.
Would it be possible for firefox to supply its name when interacting
with the default keyring?
