As others have said, it's helpful if you have multiple devices running 
firefox, keep bookmarks and/or passwords in sync.

If she isn't using a password manager, probably worth it for that to 
encourage better passwords without the worry of remembering them all or 
writing them down.  I happen to use a different password manager, so 
don't use firefox's own.

It can monitor 'pwned' sites for accounts that match those stored in the 
account, and warn you.
