hi all this ifs for all the people who use firefox
when you set firefox to remember a password it does so and these password can be accessible by going to /edit/preferences/security/show passwords/ this means that any one on your pc can see your passwords for any website and if (like me ) you use one password for everything this is crucial that you get it hidden you can do this by setting a master password which is a check box below show passwords

wow. i had no idea about that
now im going to my friends laptops and get all their passwords, then tell them about it =PPP

It should make you set a master password when you install firefox would make it easier for idiots to keep their passwords safe.

Or you should just use different passwords......then you don't get screwed when someone finds one of them

And how difficult is that to get around?

A friend of mine said no one could get on his computer as he has password protected everything in Windows. He was somewhat annoyed when I was logged on as him within about 7 minutes with the help of a CD that is readily available.....

I suppose, but how many people have one of those disks?

Anyone who wants one

And there are plenty of other ways around it.... Try logging in in Safe Mode and using the Username administrator with no password.
