Many Firefox users enjoy the convenience of the browser's Saved Passwords feature, which provides the ability to store passwords from multiple sites. This allows you to quickly authenticate on these sites without having to type anything. The downside of this convenience, however, is the fact that these passwords could potentially be utilized or viewed by anyone else that may use your browser.
Firefox 3.6 for Windows offers an added level of security for cases just like these in the form of its Master Password. With a Master Password set, the browser will present an authentication challenge anytime an attempt is made to access one or more of your stored passwords. If you tend to have other people using your computer from time to time then it is highly recommended that you activate the Master Password feature. This tutorial shows you how to in just a few easy minutes.
First, open your Firefox browser.
