Actually, the password are located in a normal text file (notepad) (%AppData%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\, then click on the folder with .default at the end) the text file name is signons.txt or signons2.txt.
In the file each entry includes the url where you need to login, the ID of the login name field , your username, the ID of the password field, your password and the url again. Each entry is separated by a dot (.).
However, the password and the usename are encrypted with and algorimth I do not know, and a same username is encrypted differently depending on the url of the website.
