I want to make a suggestion about improving Firefox security

more options

I just saw that Firefox stores my passwords for sites and they are easily accessible to anyone who opens my browser. I had the idea that you could make it secure by requiring a password to decrypt and launch firefox and when it is closed it is encrypted again so it cannot be read at all.
