I think this feature from firefox is not secure because any one can see my password very easy as soon as he reaches to my computer , and I made it with some friends.
If I saves password for this site.

tools - page info - security - View saved password - show password 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on tools 
2.click on click on
3.click on security 
4.click on View saved password
5.click on show password
Use a master password to avoid this. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Protecting+stored+passwords+using+a+master+password
