My daughter, in order to hide her activities from us, went to tools, then options, then Privacy, and, I believe, hit "clear all." All bookmarks, passwords, and everything were wiped out, even though there was a "Master Password." It seems that there should be a "Master Password" for and tool activity.

Thank Heavens there is a "Restore" option in system tools.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "tools"
2. Go to "privacy"
3. Click "Clear all"

Actual Results:
Everything is wiped out.

Expected Results:
Firefox should request the "Master Password" to perform this action.

I am sure that I am not the only person who has experienced this. In fact, I did it myself, by accident once, and immediately went to "System restore." This should be a useful feature, if instituted, for all system administrators, to check histories of employees, family members, or guests using their computer(s).
