Sorry, there is no such option. The Password Manager has the optional Master Password that requires the MP be given before the Password Manager fills in any fields.

Why do you require a lock on Firefox? We can give you workarounds.

You can put a password on your computer user profile.


This, I think, is what you really want;

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition {web link} A fully functional package of Firefox optimized for use on a USB key drive. A specialized launcher will allow most favorite extensions to work as you switch computers.
