Is it possible to do this..

So as soon as you launch any firefox link on the machine, it asks for a password for the default profile

(windows passwords are too easy to crack, and i've got more sensitive things on firefox anyway)
 
Unless it encrypted the profile too couldn't the files just be copied to a new profile anyway?

You could write a script that de-crypted the profile files then moved them into the directory, then ran firefox with that profile. And one that did the reverse when you're finished.

Or in actual fact if you changed the location of the profiles, to an encrypted drive/container then it would only run when the drive/container is de-crypted and accessible.
 
for questions that don't have specific answers, i prefer forums to get more opinions

i've considered extracting and compressing before & after use, may well use that actually, will be simple to whip up a 7z script
