Hi, I set a primary password so that this is required when I first sign in to Firefox but although the request for the password shows up, I realise I only need to press 'cancel' and firefox is opened.

jebrick3, there is at present no overall browser access password.

The primary password is only intended to protect the stored logins. So if you cancel the prompt they will remain inaccessible.
