Temporarily forget master password

Imagine this scenario:

  1. I start Firefox and go to a page that requires a login, so I enter my master password.
  2. I leave my computer.
  3. Somebody else accesses my computer. They can go to any site they want, since Firefox 'remembers' my master password.

How can I protect myself from this? I can close Firefox, I can log off my computer or I can use a screen-saver password.

I would prefer a solution within Firefox, something like a button (possibly under Application Menu → Passwords) to force the master password to be re-entered the next time it is required.

The INCORRECT future time elements are simply the years after 2025 showing travel plans in those yethey are future years and they are necessary data. But because of them I cannot access my e-mail an cannot rename them

I don't even have limited access to my internet because of this, so I cannot access the "future dates" to rename them as something perhaps botanical. In addition I am snowed in with late winter storms. My commputer is a Windows 7 Dell, (i.e. rather vintage) which I have always found fully adequate until now, and the problem is NOT with the computer.

Suddenly without warning, my Firefox browser (I guess it's 135.0) is no longer able to access my Yahoo/AT&T email account. I can do so with my I.E. browser (I never it used until this week) with no problem. This is has become a hassle for me.

https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1 is the URL that no longer functions with this new Firefox browser.

Disheartening! Are there any solutions?

Passwords not saving

I downloaded Firefox about 2 weeks ago. I imported my passwords, bookmarks, etc. from Chrome, but nothing had shown up. (I did the troubleshoot reset to fix the bookmark issue.) So I just figured I'd save them as I go. Every time I'm prompted to save my password, I do, but it's never actually saved. When I tried to manually enter the password, it says there's an error. I've checked the settings multiple times and everything is correct. I receive a little message at the top of the passwords' page, that says I need to log in, when I am, then that I need to log in with my primary password that was never set up. I've read all of the password help articles and nothing applies to my issues. I don't have any apps blocking it. (I do know on Edge and Chrome, I'm prompted to put in my desktop password but I don't get that on Firefox.) Is there something I can do to fix this? I want to use Firefox, but it's been too buggy from the get-go.
