Password security issue
I am running 3.6.16: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C)
I click on Tools, then Options, then Security, then Saved Passwords and finally "SHOW PASSWORDS".
I had no idea that it would be this easy for someone to gain access to whatever passwords I've saved. Shouldn't this feature be password protected also? Is there a way I can secure this so that anyone who uses a machine after me that I use frequently will not see my saved passwords?
Please advise.

Did you see the option to set up a Master Password? If you do, set up one and from thereafter, you'd have to enter the password to access the passwords.

In order to show the passwords, you have to enter your Master Password to do so.
I had to enter no password to gain access to this. Or am I missing something?

Using the Master Password feature should work.

Thank you! Not sure how I overlooked that but when I saw how easy it was to get into those passwords I panicked for sure. Thank you for your quick response and your help. Much appreciated.
