I know there is an option called Master Password, but it only protects my saved login passwords. but, My question is that no one should get access to my Firefox browser until the password is entered. If someone closes the popup (Master Password) box, the Firefox should automatically quit! Please help me how can I do this?

In order to access your Firefox profile, someone needs to be able to log into your computer user account.

If others are using your computer, set up separate user accounts on the computer for them. If they want to use Firefox, the browser will create separate profiles for each user.

Data will only be shared if you allow it.
