StingRayZ Posted July 27, 2006 CID Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hey all, quick question regarding the master password setting in firefox. If I remove the master password would it make it easier for someone outside of my LAN to get the passwords or is it just to protect from someone sitting at my computer and getting my passwords? Thanks Let me know if I need to make the question clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted July 28, 2006 CID Share Posted July 28, 2006 if we are talking about the profile passwords.. I think that does is protect you layout of your browser and maybe your form data, the stuff that you can remember.. otherwise I know that the bookmarks are stored as an html file or an xml file.. i dont remember which..
