I have seen solutions to export firefox passwords using password fox, however, this doesnt work for me because my browser is saved on a portable USB. I use portableapps program and dont have my own computer to use password fox with.

I would really like to see a plugin able to export passwords or mozilla putting that functionality into the security page.

Any help with this issue is appreciated.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
