Every time my computer (Windows10) goes to the screensaver and I come back to it, it requires my password. How do I stop this?

It's the computer asking for your password. Not Firefox. You can set the screen saver to ask for your login or not.

You can go to Windows Settings and set it to   'Never'
(after each Windows update you will be asked again, though)
