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.
