Backup and Restore Firefox Passwords

July 19th, 2007


Password Exporter is a wonderful Firefox extension, created by Fligtar, that exports all your form username and passwords from Firefox to an XML file.

Password Exporter is an extension for Mozilla products that allows you to export and import your saved passwords and rejected sites from Password Manager. Your passwords will be exported to an XML file which you can then import on any computer. You can also encrypt the usernames and passwords from plain recognition.

Supported Applications: Mozilla Firefox 1.5 – 3.0a1, Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 – 3.0a1, Flock, Songbird
