Firefox is still fully usable if I press cancel when it prompts me to enter my primary password. Is there possibly a fix for this?

The Primary Password is only used to unlock the passwords stored in the Lockwise Password Manager, so if you cancel the PP prompt then the passwords get (re)locked and you can't access them and Firefox cannot auto-fill the username and password. It doesn't block access to Firefox in any way. You can use a Windows Guest amount for others that use your computer.
