Mozilla Firefox web browser provides a built-in password manager, which stores access credentials for visited web sites. The credentials are encrypted and stored in Firefox special database files: key3.db and signons.txt.
The key3.db file contains the master password and the key to encrypt and decrypt the passwords. The signons.txt file stores saved user names and passwords in earlier versions of Firefox. It now stores a list of sites for which passwords are never saved.
FirePassword is an open source utility that lets you decrypt and read the login credentials from the Firefox’s built-in password manager. It utilizes the same mechanism as Firefox and can be used to view credentials off-line without running Firefox. The latest release supports Firefox 2.0.
