In this post, you will see how to export passwords from the Firefox browser. Like any other modern browsers, Firefox also provides a password manager to store and manage saved logins and passwords and use them whenever needed. It also offers the feature to export logins. This can come in handy later to move your saved passwords from Firefox to another browser. This post has all the steps required to back up the saved passwords from Firefox.
Firefox lets you export passwords as a CSV file. That file includes the list of website address, username, password (in the plain readable text), the time when a password was created, last time when the password was used, etc.
