you have to setup a master password to hide your passwords in Firefox under tools-->options-->security tab
try this. go to tools --> options --> security then click the show passwords button, in the next pop up click that Show Passwords button. All passwords are shown in plain text.
A master password will require a password once per FF session, but then it will be able to access your other passwords.
If you use Portable FF and not setting up a master password, you are just asking for trouble if your flash drive is lost or stolen.

Or go to a machine and copy key3.db and signons.txt to the same loc on another machine install of FF. You now have all of their FF pwds.
Always set a master password, or, better yet, use passphrases and never save them or write them down.

Okay, I set a master password. Glad I saw this.
You know what sucks about this kind of software? I want to warn my coworkers and friends about how to protect themselves, but if I show them this they will freak out and think I am stealing their info. Its the same reason I don't tell anyone that I know how to lock pick either.

I'm always afraid of my coworkers stealing my crap if I tell them about these things...
