The problem of Mozilla Firefox that when I want to see my save password, I easily see this. And this is the big problem for me. Because when another person want to see my save passwords he can also easily see it. In that case I can lost my password and could be hacking my important accounts and sites.

If you see another software like Google chrome or Opera mini, when I want to see my save password then the softwares offer to put me the windows password or pin to see the password. This is very secure to protect my save password.

Why Mozilla Firefox software's not found the option? For this reason I can't use the Mozilla Firefox.

I need to save many important Password. But I can't do it in Mozilla Firefox for security reason. Once a time someone hacked my password in [save password] option to see the password easily in Mozilla Firefox. Please Fix the problem.

If you don't password protect the Windows account that has Firefox with your login anyone using the computer will see them. This isn't a oversight of Firefox but of the user themselves. How Windows password secures and Firefox secures their password aren't the same methods here. My Password can be seen just clicking the "eye" symbol to see them nothing like what your describing. I think you have other security issue with the security software causing this not from Firefox. As to someone hacking that is because the user themselves click malware links or click phishing email and got hacked - it doesn't suddenly happen someone on the receiving end has to click malware links to get hacked or click malware sites to get hacked. If you don't want other seeing your Firefox password you need to make that Windows account password protected so no one but the user can access that account. Anyone else will have to make their own account unconnected the previous account.
