Please provide exact step-by-step how to reproduce it. Keep in mind, I have no 
idea what that site does and what to do there.
I gather that much I'll need register there first...

StartSSL.com is a Certificate Authority, well known because they provide 
zero-cost 1-year certificates. They authenticate their users with a client 
certificate, generated in-browser by the <keygen tag>

Sorry, I can't provide step-by-step instructions, as the signup requires human 
verification from their side, and I already have an account.

I ran into the issue when generating a new client cert, as mine was about to 
expire. They only let me generate one per e-mail address, and I ran into this 
problem with two addresses, before disabling MP+ and successfully generating 
one.

When MP+ was enabled, the certificate was generated, (I briefly saw a 
"collecting entropy" pop-up), and they were given the public key, but the 
private key wasn't saved in my browser's certificate store.

Just so we on the same page:
MP = Master Password - a build-in browser's feature, when enabled it works on 
it's own. Once it's logged in, it stays logged in until browser restart.

MP+ = Master Password+ - this addon, that enhances possibilities for MP, when 
disabled, it doesn't disable MP itself.

So, here are further questions to troubleshoot:
1) are your MP+ logged in or logged out at the moment generating the 
certificate? (red or green icon)
2) in case 1) is logged out, does MP+ set to block MP prompts?
