Is there an option to lock a session

When I use (portable) Firefox in the library of my university, I often have several password-protected sites open (like gmail). When I have to print something, it is not possible to lock the computer. I wondered if there's an option (or add-on) to lock a Firefox session, so all FF screens are blurred/blank and protected by one password (eg the master password for passwords).

1. Firefox doesn't have a feature like that, and I haven't seen an extension that would add that feature to Firefox.

2. Firefox Portable is a 3rd party build. Support for Firefox Portable is over here:

Thank you for your response. Do you know if there is a place for dumping ideas for features/add-ons?

I don't see a feedback link for the Portable Apps website, you might want to ask about that in their support forum.
