The master password isn't used to prevent Firefox from starting.
The MP is only used to prevent unauthorized access to the name and passwords in the Password Manager.

If you open a page with a login form on startup and you've stored a N/P for that website then you get a MP prompt, but you can close that dialog via Cancel or ESC.
