The fact that Firefox’s show passwords option is so easy to reach is often a godsend for me because more often than not I forget which login I used with which web site.
If your PC is used by more than one person though there is a security issue you may need to worry about when it comes to showing others your login information.
By default, if you go under Tools, then your Options and then the Security section, anybody could get in there and look at your user names and passwords – as long as they had access to your PC. To fix that you want to set a master password.
First go to Tools and then Options. From there your Firefox options window should pop up and you want to go to the Security tab. From there check the box that says “Use a master password”. Now another box should come up asking you for your master password – type it in twice, and make sure you remember it.
Now when you go to Tools, Options, Security and then under the Passwords section hit the “Show Passwords…” button it should ask you for your master password before showing all your saved password information.
You know that sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach, the one that means either you forgot your mother’s birthday or even worse – your password for your favorite web site. Thankfully if Firefox has been remembering these passwords for you, recovering them in an easy task.
Want to make sure that login process your going through is a little more secure? 
How can you see some of the Firefox Addons that might not be ready for “prime time” or mass usage yet? Starting a while back, the Mozilla people decided to create a special section for themes and extensions like that. What is the name for this magical place? The Sandbox.
