Like, if I'm not home...I don't want teens to be able to access the internet. I want to have a password that you have to enter before Firefox will open. Like with IE. Is this possible with Firefox?

Guys use DiscoLock for this purpose, free and simple, download, that does not only password protect firefox but also chrome, internet explorer, and many important applications at just one click.
