Re: How to backup password in Mozilla Firefox?

This is very easy with the help of the extension of the Firefox that has been made for the use of taking the back up of the password with the profile. Also you can import and export the password of the Firefox with the encryption that you have to set. After the installation of the same you will find it on the extension and click on the option to make the setting of it. You can export in either XML or CSV format. But when you are exporting the password then be careful with it. Thats it!!!!!

Re: How to backup password in Mozilla Firefox?

This extension allows you to export your saved passwords and disabled login hosts using XML or CSV files that can be imported in another browser or computer. Supports Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Thunderbird, and several other apps. The "encryption" is mainly to prevent casual users from stumbling upon your passwords. It will in no way stop someone who actually wants to see them, as they could just import your file anyway. Better encryption will be added in the future.
