Is there a setting where you can set a timeout for access to passwords so when the time limit it is up it forces you to re-enter your master password to gain access when on a page asking for credentials? Currently I login with my master password and every site I go to Firefox will have my passwords ready to use, even if I leave my computer on for a week. How about a four hour timeout. After four hours and I go to a site asking for my credentials, Firefox will prompt me for my master password before letting me access the vault?

Hello,

You should be prompted to enter your primary password one time each session (every time Firefox is opened and access to the saved passwords is needed). I believe there is no "timeout" setting, however, you can just close Firefox to ensure your passwords are secured. Also, you can Secure Firefox passwords with device sign-in.
