While it’s nice being able to store most website passwords in Firefox, it quickly becomes a chore to find one when you need to enter it manually elsewhere (ie. Quicken). Enter the Password Finder extension, which adds a search box to the password manager. Two caveats: on my MacBook, I had to enlarge the window to see the search box at the bottom, and you can’t remove passwords without clearing the search. Still, it is a handy way to find the one you’re looking for.

The Firefox passowrd saver is handy, but like you mentioned, it does have its drawbacks. If I’m not mistaken, there have also been quite a few articles out recently about security holes too.
But if you need to store more than just website logins, than I suggest you move to a full fledged password manager. You can store
Sure, I’m biased because I founded one, but there are plenty out there to choose from. If you pick an online service, then you’ll be able to access your stuff even when your on the road.
Good luck with it.

(oops. I truncated that “You can store…” sentence. Oh well, just use your immagination [smile])
