Firefox has a feature which remembers your password, so that you don’t have to physically type it whenever you visit your favorite site like Facebook or Twitter. Each time you log into the site for the first time, Firefox will display a note requesting whether you want to save the password or not. By removing this password prompt message, you can turn your Firefox into a secret key logger remembering each and every password used to login. There are two scenarios where you may find this worthwhile: 1. You are the only person using the computer, and you have used a master security password. In this scenario, you find it rather annoying to see the message consistently, and it’s safe to disable the password prompt since you have encrypted all your passwords with a master password, which is required to either use or view your saved password. 2. Your friend frequently uses your computer, without your permission and you want to steal his password to warn him about the consequence. Whatever the reason maybe, I truly believe having your own little key logger in your own computer isn’t something which is morally wrong; unless you are stealing his PayPal password (Firefox doesn’t remember passwords from sites like PayPal by default). Firefox saves all its “not-to-be-messed-with” settings in the components folder normally located at C:\Program Files \Mozilla Firefox\. We modify nsLoginManagerPrompter.js to change the way Firefox behaves when it comes to saving passwords.
