Thank you @spanakop for your topic! I actually started some initial work on this just last month and it is absolutely possible. I started brain storming some names over here, what do you think would be a good addon name? Any of your own ideas would be totally welcome:

These are the related articles in my research to create this addon: https://gist.github.com/yajd/9697a046abb48ebad203
Thanks to a friend from IRC (@Archaeopteryx) he found this addon: https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPFF
I didn't get a chance to check this addon out, it may be defeated by starting in safe mode. In the version we develop next we should keep that in mind.
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Good to know you were already looking into this.
Looking at the names you have already, I like ProfiLock
Will this be a separate add-in or part of the existing profile manager app you have?
Seperate addon as it is very different at least on the inner workings. :)
I help to manage a school so any way to manage the laptops remotely is a great help. Having the ability to create a new profile that my school uses is brilliant, because I can manage the settings, bookmarks and add-ons, likewise, being able to see my own stuff on the school browsers is very handy sometimes for my own bookmarks and add-ons.
Rather than delete and re-create my profile, is there a way to password protect a profile so it can't be activated by another user?
