Can I set it such that when I start Firefox, it prompts me to input my Firefox Account password each time before it starts Syncing?

Idea being that all my saved passwords aren't available to anyone who gets on my computer and opens Firefox. They need to log into the Firefox Account first each time.

Sorry, there is no feature like that and I'm not aware of an extension that would add a feature like that.

And the Firefox Account password has nothing to do with saved passwords; as you other thread today asks about, that is what the Master Password is used for.

The Firefox Account does have something to do with saved passwords.

Passwords I save on my Home computer, are available on my Work PC due to the Firefox Account syncing.
