There is no such option for the Firefox web browser. There is a Primary (Master) Password that secures the Password Manager, but that is all.

For anyone to get access to your data, they need to get into your user account on the computer.

Are others using your user account? I suggest setting them up with their own user accounts. You can also set up a 'public' account instead of different accounts for everybody.
