How to edit saved passwords in firefox

I have an odd problem. I have lost the password to my Yahoo account, In which file? And can I extract it from there? I am using firefox. I know it saves passwords but where do I'll find it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Firefox passwords are stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ folder (Windows Vista) or the C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\ folder (Windows XP/2000), which depends on your Windows user account name. you can try it from there.
