Other than manually writing down certain saved logins & PWs on my wife's machine/Firefox and then going to my own machine/Firefox and visiting those pages and entering those login/PW combinations (and some pages block saving logins/PWs), is there some way to export those saved logins/PWs from her machine/Firefox and import them to my machine/Firefox?
