Ability to relock your passwords after previously entering the primary password

[TechHorse]

Hello. Once you have unlocked your passwords by entering the primary password there is no straightforward way to relock them afterwards. Your passwords will remain in a less secure / more accessible state for the rest of the active Firefox session.

This is a request for a method to quickly relock your passwords once you have finished logging into a site etc.

This could be achieved via either a 'Sign out of the primary password' button that can be added to the toolbar, or an entry in the Tools menu.

As a bonus, any such button or Tools menu item could work as a lock / unlock toggle. i.e, it will sign out of the primary password if the passwords are currently unlocked, but will bring up the 'Please enter your Primary Password' dialogue prompt if they are currently locked (some users may wish to sign into the primary password at a time of their choosing, rather than waiting for the prompt to be triggered by an action).

P.S. I am aware that there are methods / workarounds to cause a signed in primary password to sign out and hence relock your passwords, but these require multiple steps and are not especially convenient. Resecuring your passwords should be much simpler.

Thanks.
