Is it possible to tie the Firefox master password to Windows session authentication?
I'd like to be able to authenticate a user to its Windows session and once that's done, somehow unlock Firefox without entering the master password. Is it possible to tie both?
Can the same be achieved in GNU/Linux?
In GNU/Linux some applications can do this when using a keyring of sorts (such as when using the GNOME desktop environment).

Hi
I am not aware of how this could be done in Windows and to some extent in Linux (that may be distro or desktop environment related). You do not need to have a password to open or use Firefox.
Once I set the master password, yes I need to reenter it at least once when I restart Firefox. That's what I'd like to avoid.
You will always have to enter the master password after you have started Firefox. This MP is used to encrypt data stored in logins.json and without this password that data cannot be accessed. If you do not want to enter the MP then your only option would be to not use this security feature.
Windows offers a credential manager. Would it be possible to store the master password in the windows credential manager? Then it will be tied to your windows login. This could maybe solve the problem.
