Hi,

I have lots of addons installed in my Firefox. The issue I have is that if I login to my sync account on a different computer someone else has access to the addons in my account and can uninstall or disable them without my permission. This will mean that my original account is affected as well as soon as sync starts up on it.

My question is, can I set a password on the addons, so that only people who know my master password (that will be me) , can install, disable or remove addons from my Firefox? Basically for and addon to be removed I want to have to put the (or a) password in.

Is there and addon I can download that will do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Niels

Hi ! What happens if you set a main password in Firefox settings ? Then it should perhaps not be possible to change anything unless you have the password.

Yeah I've already got that set but it doesn't do it :(

I was thinking maybe an addon that makes the password feature do what I want. I don't know.
