I use a master password for firefox. However If I go to gmail.com The master password is not asked and my conversations etc. can be seen. How can I bring my login in gmail.com under the master password security

hi, the request for a master password should kick in once you are on a password form that should auto-complete with your username and password or once you try to access the stored passwords through the firefox options > security panel. Use a Primary Password to protect stored logins and passwords

when a website just uses a cookie to recognise you in a new browsing session and logs you in automatically, this is not a use-case for the master password. in this case you'd have to alter the cookie settings in firefox or specifically for pages where you don't want to get automatically signed in: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop
