To start off I don't have a problem with auto logins, I rather not use a primary password on my device. But at the same time i would like the option to set a password to protect my logins and password from being easy accessible. So in other words a option password where no one can change or view my Firefox logins. The reason for this is so that if someone is using my laptop they can't view what my password is but can use my auto login without me to go to netflix, pay a bill, etc.

Only someone with access to your computers' user account would have access.

I want it to be use-able, without the master password, but protect my passwords from being viewed naked.

is there a suggestion for change? I'm probably posting in the wrong area, but i couldn't find it.

Not that I am aware of.
