You can use a Add-on as described here:

1. First of all, open the Firefox browser and in the menu which presents on the top at the right side in which click on the options button and select ‘Add-ons‘ or you can apply this shortcut ctrl+shift+A.
2. Now In Add-ons search “Master password +” and click on install button to install master password add-on on your Firefox browser. Master password add-ons help you in setting the startup password on Firefox.
3. Now to complete the installation process restart the browser and again go option in the top right corner and click on customize option.
4. Then search for the master password icon on the left side and drag it to the menu on the right side to add it to the main menu in the Firefox browser.
5. Now click on the down arrow on the master password icon in the menu options and select ‘set master password‘ option or directly apply shortcut ‘alt+l‘.
6. Now fill a strong password in the field of New password to set as startup password and after that also select Startup menu from the same window in which tick on ‘ask for password on startup‘ checkbox and also click on OK option to apply changes. The figure is shown below. {Always remember that use a strong password as startup password which contains at least one uppercase and lower case letter, number, symbols and should be 12 characters long}
7. After that whenever you open your Firefox browser it will always ask for that password and no one can access your browser without that password.
