Paul,

 That article was helpful.  I wanted to follow-up, wonder if I can here or need a new thread?  
  Well I'll try.  
  --It is morning and I am going to view Internet articles first for a few minutes and then continue with opening email accounts.  At what stage would I enter my Mozilla password, before I started reading news or entertainment news, or later when I am ready to begin email accounts, messaging, etc.?  
 Thanks a lot for helping. 
Sincerely,
 Reg

The primary password would protect your email account and also the entertainment news if you had to sign into a service to view that.
