Use a password to login when FF is opened after reboot

11 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/use-a-password-to-login-when-ff-is-opened-after-reboot.199892/

Hi Guys,

I save my passwords for my different accounts in FF in my home computer so that it auto logins whenever I open a particular site. Is there a way to make FF ask for a password for atleast once after it is opened after a reboot? Is there any specific software or extension for the same? What I am looking for is say a master password for gmail, yahoo, digit, amazon etc. that FF asks for once after reboot.

Thanks

Bump....

FF does have a master password system. You may try out that.

Where exactly is that option dear? There's an extension/add on for this, can't recall it's name though.

It will be under Options / Preferences > Security > Use a master password

Thanks. It works but it does not make FF ask for a password for atleast once after it is opened after a reboot. Any way to do the same?

It should ask a password everytime you close it. That's my understanding about it.

After setting Master Password try any of these extensions :

Master Password+ :: Add-ons for Firefo

or

StartupMaster :: Add-ons for Firefo

Nope. FF ain't doing that.

It will only ask for password If you clear cookies, etc on exit.

Change setting to automatically clear cookies on FF exit.

Master Password+
works perfectly..
ask for password every time I opened browser..
Also minimize and inactivity lock also available... really good..
even after clearing all history and using "forget" in ff,
all options are available in Tools>option,,
Thank you for suggestion..
