Firefox uses a master password for its password store and stores them in own encrypted sqlite database. Chrome stores them using system keyring, which is ok in linux, not so fine in windows.
- Swannie 5y agoBut Firefox doesn't require the password on reboot - or to even access the plaintext password in the password manager! So just fire it up, and access the passwords. The on disk encryption is pretty redundant.
- arpa 5y agoWe must have been using different firefoxes, as I have to enter my master password quite often (even after locked screen).
