Print or save a copy of saved passwords

You will have to place it on your hard drive in order to run it.

You didn't ask about sorting but others have

For sorting you can use a bookmarklet or an extension, but it would only be alphabetical on a column bugzilla.mozilla.com would appear before www.ibm.com

Maybe the authors could add the hostname or sitename in a column to make sorting choices easier

Password information is stored in an sqlite file and a db file, you can't read that data in a clear text format for security purposes. Those two files work in conjunction with each other, and have to be "read" through Firefox to make any sense at all.

If this page, when saved to your hard drive, doesn't work in Firefox 3.6 (it didn't work for me) - http://edmullen.net/mozilla/display_moz_passwords.html
That version looks like an old version for doing that type of password display in Firefox.

Firefox has changed the passwords files a few times between like 2006 and late 2007 - the version that is available from my website works in Firefox 5.0, 4.0 and all 3.# versions of Firefox.

Follow the instructions posted there. You'll get two security warnings which you need to Allow, which is why you have to load the "page" from your own hard drive and not from the internet.

dickvl over at the MozillaZine Firefox support fora and I re-worked the code from Ed Mullen's website in Jan 2008 to get that code to work in Firefox 3.0+ versions, after that code hadn't been updated in awhile. Full credit given to everyone who was mentioned in the source code (more his work and knowledge than mine) and predominantly displayed right on the page. I don't want to be accused of stealing web content or code from Ed Mullen.

@the-edmeister

Yes it was the one from your site, the-edmeister, I had been using, been a long time since I'd seen that pink background in the older version.

Can you add the requisite domain name (xerox.com) in an additional column so people can sort on that as primary, and what might be listed as host name (www.office.xerox.com) as secondary. (primary [major] sort would be the last sort done)

@dmcritchie

I don't see any "sort" done at all on the resulting output. And the code on my page doesn't have any sort functions included, that I can see. (I know little about writing Javascript.) It sure doesn't "sort" as displayed in the Firefox Saved Passwords window, which is alpha from left to right - chrome:// - ftp:// - http:// - https:// - as the primary sort. And within each of those protocols there are mutli-levels of alpha sort, which are separated by each period in the URL, it seems.

The resulting output from my page seems like it may be in the order the passwords were originally saved, which is the order that data would have been originally saved in the signons.sqlite file. I can't say that 100% though, as the Profile I used earlier to test that it still works in Firefox 5.0 has been through hell and back over the last 8 or 9 years. I honestly can't remember the last time I started saving passwords from scratch in a new Profile, I have passwords from websites that I haven't been to in the last 8 years in there. I just copy the two password files into any new Profile I may create and I'm then sure I have any of the passwords I have saved since I started using Firefox.

Sorry, I don't have any idea about how to add another column with (xerox.com) pulled out of this URL (www.office.xerox.com), if I am following you. The script used basically takes the data saved in Firefox an outputs it direct, without modification, just placing that data into the correct place as per the script. I'm not sure that would even be possible, we're already hitting two security alerts in Firefox as it is.
