Recover Stored Passwords from Firefox with FirePasswordViewer

Utility to decrypt and recover stored passwords and logins stored by FireFox Web Browse in the local computer system.

FirePasswordViewer is the GUI version of FirePassword tool designed to decrypt sign-on secrets stored by Firefox. Firefox records the login details such as username and password for every website authorized by the user and stores them in the sign-on database file in encrypted format.


FirePasswordViewer tool can decrypt and display these secrets on the same lines as the Firefox built-in password manager. The main advantage of FirePasswordViewer is that it does not require Firefox to be running. This is very useful in recovering the sign-on details when Firefox fails to function properly.

Also FirePasswordViewer can be used to display sign-on secrets from different profile (other than current profile) as well as from the different operating system altogether. This greatly helps forensic investigators who can copy the relevant files from the target system to test machine and view the credentials offline without affecting the target environment. In addition, you will be able to save the shown sign-on information to a file in standard HTML format and you can store it for later reference.
