I want to lock firefox with a password because i remembered passwords for my gmail and facebook etc... and don't want my sister or gf can access it. Is there a chance to do that? :)

Sorry, Firefox doesn't have a feature for that, but there is an extension that will kind of do that.

If someone knows how the open the Firefox SafeMode in Firefox 4.0, that extension is easily bypassed though, so it provides no real "security".
