Want to clear any stored information about one web site in particular, without clearing out all of your browser’s history files?  Hidden deep within the Firefox browser, there is a way to clear Firefox’s history for just one single web site.  You just have to know where to look.

Want to have Firefox just clear out the un-important stuff when you start browsing?  Now, this is highly based in my opinion – and I do have to say that one man’s un-important data might be another man’s stuff he can’t miss. 
I’ll share with you though how I have my browser setup to clear some un-important data each time I close the browser.

One of my favorite features of the old Google Browser Sync was the ability to sync my passwords between my laptop and desktop computers.  Till now, no other program has gotten that right.  That was the case till Foxmarks decided to roll out this new feature.
Password Synchronization is an optional feature for the newest version of Foxmarks that allows you to simply and securely synchronize your saved passwords. 

Since this feature is turned off by default, how do you [...]

If you haven’t made the jump yet, there are a few files you may want to make sure you back up before going from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3.  The first would be your password files.  These files are located in your profile folder. 
Backup the Firefox files called:

signons.txt
signons2.txt
key3.db

Copy and past them into the place you want to back them up to, and you are done.  To restore them, make sure you don’t have Firefox running and then go [...]

This is one of those “under the radar, but still cool” features of Firefox 3 I haven’t heard much praise about. 
You can now search through your saved password information.  This is great for those of us who often forget what login we used with what web site and don’t want to go scroll happy going down the list to maybe find the right result.
To check it out, go to Tools, Options and then the Security Tab.  Then click on [...]

Sure there are tools, downloads and services that may do this for you, but what fun is that?  Just in case you don’t feel the need to download another addition to the browser just yet – here is how you can backup your Firefox saved passwords the manual way.
First, navigate yourself to your profiles folder and then you want to copy three files, they are named:

signons.txt
signons2.txt
key3.db

Copy and past them into the place you want to back them up to, and [...]

If you follow any of my other side projects, you might have noticed I got a new PC the other day. One of the not-so-much-fun aspects of getting a new computer is getting Firefox back up and running on it and getting all your bookmarks, settings and passwords moved over. For the most part Google’s Browser Sync did a lot of the heavy lifting in that regard.
Where Did My Passwords Go?!
I screwed up somewhere though, and all [...]

Well it looks like the good times train has made a stop in bug city! I have no doubt though that the Mozilla folks will get this one squashed as soon as possible. Till then, it is always good to know the facts.
Today, Mozilla made public bug #360493, which exposes Firefox’s Password Manager on many public sites. The flaw derives from Firefox’s willingness to supply the username and password stored on one page on a domain to another [...]

So you think your passwords are all nice and safe inside your browser? Well, you might want to think again. Here is a way to check out all your passwords without any hacking involved.
Go to the Firefox “Preferences” click on “Privacy” and then on the “Passwords” tab. Click on the button in the bottom left saying “View Saved Passwords”. Then a new window pops up and there is another button, saying “Show Passwords” and another dialog box [...]

It is easy enough to export your bookmarks from Firefox, why not your passwords? That is the real pain in the rear when it comes to setting up a fresh install of Firefox. Nobody likes having to visit all your favorite Web sites just to click that little “remember my password” check box. Now with the Password Exporter extension, you can export and import your saved passwords and rejected sites between computers. Your passwords will be exported [...]
