Firefox happens to be my favorite browser. Being the person I am there is nothing on my Firefox install other than saved passwords and some toolbar bookmarks. For everything else I use online accounts like Del.icio.us, and other productivity sites like Remember the Milk.

But recently in a computer crash, I had to wipe out Windows and reinstall it from scratch. In the process, I lost all the saved passwords, and after the reinstall I was left scratching my head trying to remember the passwords.

Thanks to Sizlopedia I found a cool Firefox addon that does exactly what I was looking for.  Password Exporter adds the ability to view all of your saved passwords, and to export them in an encrypted or unencrypted file CSV or XML file. Whenever you wish to import those passwords to a different Firefox installation, just install Password Exporter again, find your file, and click the import button. Sounds simple isn’t it?

Well not so simple really. The catch is that Password Exporter is hidden in your security settings, which can be accessed by clicking Tools>Options>Security. Once you’re at the security screen, you should see the import/export passwords option .

I hope that Password Exporter will save a few headaches for you!
