Security of saved passwords
Hi everyone, I would like to know the way of saving passwords. Are they saved as plaintext ? Or ciphered and locally saved ? Is the Firefox solution as safe as Dashlane or other crypto-secure ways to save passwords ? Is there a technical documentation from Firefox about this topic ? Thanks in advance for your answers ;)

Within the Firefox user profile, the information is encrypted using two files. logins.json and key3.db [v58+]key4.db : These are the password files.
