I'm concerned about the security/privacy aspect of Firefox saving username/passwords for web applications.

  • Where does Firefox save these username/passwords?
  • Are these username/passwords encrypted? How are the username/passwords encrypted?
  • Who has access to the passwords saved?
  • How long are these passwords stored?
  • Do these get cleared when the browser gets uninstalled?
