I thought establishing a master password would do this but it does not. I want to protect saved information, i. e. tax returns.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Profile Password extension - but it is easily by-passed by opening the Firefox SafeMode.

Hi the ed-meister,

Thanks. You pointed me in the right direction. I accessed my account log-in feature via control panel and solved the problem.
