Lets not go there. Especially when you didn't trim the mail before
replying yourself. An equal cardinal sin!

Really? You've not figure out how to use a master password on FireFox?

Perhaps these will help:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/db_formats.html
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Configuring+Firefox+for+FIPS+140-2

Mozilla have put considerable effort in securing passwords.

FUD

Good job quoting out of context. Any ways:

First off, I know about the password managers master password, second,
there have been several vulnerabilities to Firefox's master password
over the years. And even though I love Firefox with all my heart, along
with Chrome, I will break that love for a second to prove the point that
you apparently missed the memo about the data leak on Firefox's password
manager, even with password protection. It was just patched on July
20th of this year, and it's not the first time it's happened. While
Mozilla did not directly acknowledge in the security notes, they did
acknowledge it's existence.

It wasn't quoted out of context at all. I quoted exactly what you
stated. You stated:

What is quoted out of context? Perhaps your reading comprehension is
failing?

And *specifically* which of those are you referring to?

Your statement was generic FUD.

Sure, it can. The Wife (www.suziepaints.com) and I painted at night for
a plumbing business recently (we know the owner) and, while there, I
gathered up 25 AIX usernames and passwords from post its on monitor
backs and keyboard bottoms that I later passed to the boss just so he
would know how easy it can be. He regularly has cleaning crews in at
night and had no idea that the employees were keeping those in such
insecure places.
Just think, had /one/ cleaner done the same thing then /all/ the data
could have leaked out.
