Hi oktzai,

If yo want to share your computer with friends, but don't allow others to see or do anything to your Firefox this tips will be helpful: How do I share Firefox between people on a computer?

I hope that helps you.

You can not set or use a (master) password to prevent others from starting Firefox. Extensions can easily be bypassed by holding down the Shift key to start in Safe mode.

The master password is only used to prevent access to the stored passwords, but won't prevent access to the passwords once it has been entered during a session and if the MP hasn't expired (default is 30 min.)
