Hi, I really concern about my browser privacy, so i need to secure it with something like you need to login if you to use this browser. In google chrome, it's just so simple what i need to do is just install extension called Set password for your browser ( chrome lock ) by eswar yaga. but in firefox it's dead end. I found all people referred master password (with additional option) or startupmaster. Startupmaster now outdated, and master password now only work for securing password management. The old version of master password has additional option for startup but i can't found it. Please help me. Thank you

Hi Rian Oktio MP, Firefox never had a built-in feature for this, and any approach that depends on an extension can be worked around by starting Firefox in its Safe Mode.

Unfortunately, I think the only way to truly secure the data in Firefox's folder is through disk-level encryption.
