Can I hide or lock (with password) access to the add-on manager?

So users can't see what add-ons I have running? I don't want my (tech savvy) children knowing or being able to alter add-ons monitoring what they are viewing. I've caught my daughter looking at inappropriate stuff and she's a sneaky one so she tries to hide it.

I'd like to be able to restrict access to the add-on manager (through the menu bar as well) or hide it completely so only I can find it.

Is that possible?

Note that some extensions can be installed globally in the Firefox program folder and won't show on the about:addons page.
