Hi there, I've been searching the forums and I can't find an answer to this.

I would like gmail to always require a masterpassword when I open firefox for the first time at open gmail.

I'm getting stuck on what urls to block when saving cookies and cached pages. gmail uses mail.google as well as google.com and accounts/google.com, as well and whereas if i block everything, everytime i load my homepage as google or mail for the first time it's veeerry slow since it has no cookies and seems to get stuck before making me do a 2 step authentication every time. It's very time consuming and I don't believe im blocking the right cookies.

I would like google and gmail to load right into accounts where my accounts are saved but clicking on them requires the master password to be put in one per browsing session and then cookies are still saved until i close browser. hopefully i dont have to change global cookie settings, as they are on until expire and disallow non visited 3rd party cookies.

Firefox requires the Master Password the first time the Password Manager is triggered to fill a login. There isn't away to link that behavior only to a specific site's login. Does that make sense?

If you didn't have 2FA set up, you could just switch your Google cookie permission to "session only" (for https://google.com in the Exceptions dialog). However, that would clear not just your login cookie at shutdown, but also all your other Google cookies. So that's not best in your situation.

What would work best with the design of Firefox and Google sites is to log out of Google when you're done. Then you or anyone else will need to log in again for the next use.

Alternately, you could look for an add-on that can strip out just the critical cookie that maintains your session. I don't know whether anyone has created anything like that.
