When I first came to know about the fact that we can see password saved on Firefox browser, I was kind of shocked. And I am pretty sure that once you are done reading this post, you would react the same.
I am not sure if this feature is a glitch or something that Firefox included willingly. Whatever may be the reason, it has its own drawbacks and benefits.
If you have forgotten the password of any of your account, whose password has been saved by you in the the Firefox, then you can easily view it. This is the bright side of it.
But if any other person has the Admin account to that computer, then can also check out your password which obviously is its dark side.
Lets not go on to the sidetrack as we are meant to talk about the way to see stored passwords on Firefox.

You have to understand this that you can only check out the passwords for the accounts, whose passwords have been saved by you for auto fill on Firefox.
