    I like the FF option: show your windows and tabs from last time.

    But I'd like to PW protect FF so before it'll open or open windows & tabs from last time it demands a PW.

    Is this possible?

    You could create a small encrypted file container with truecrypt or veracrypt - and place the FF profile inside it.
    This means you need to mount the file container first (with a password) before FF will open the specific profile.
    That's one possible option.
