Any way to view more than 16 characters of a stored password?

I've been relying on firefox for many years now, specifically when trying to keep track of passwords for a silly quantity of websites I access infrequently.

Wanting to make a safe hard copy backup I've found I can only see 16 characters of my password in the password manager (even after manipulating / resizing the columns). Is there a registry entry or some such work around which would allow me to read my stored passwords that are longer than 16 characters?

Postscript:

At the bottom of this form I have the sentence and link as follows...

"We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system. Show details »"

Clicking this link appears to refresh the page clearing all my entered text. so for clarity...

O/S: Windows 7 - 64 bit Browser: Firefox v 3.6.21 (taken from help/about MF file menu)

Follow the directions on that page and you'll be able to process your bookmarks on your own PC and be able to view all your usernames & passwords along with the URL in a printable format. Note: you will get two security warning messages, that is why you have to save the "webpage" to your PC and load it from there using File > Open File... or { Ctrl + O }

I am able to view and print out a list of my Password information even with this URL in the Host column - http://abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.mail.everyone.net - so it will easily handle a 16 character password.
