Try to use Password Exporter 1.3.1.1-signed, export to xml and edit file to show only Username and Passwords or PrintScreen with show passwords.

I hope I helped you.

I did as suggested, but the results are unreadable.

Thanks anyway,

You can export the passwords to a signons.json file by evaluating code in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).

See:

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords

You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to evaluate the code. Toggle devtools.chrome.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable the command line in the Browser Console.

• https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Browser_Console#Browser_Console_command_line

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

See this post further down for the JavaScript code.

You can open this file in the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Click the "Pretty Print" button to format the file for readability.

• https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Scratchpad

You can open the saved signons.json file in a Firefox tab and use this code in the command line of the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).

• https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console

In case the builtin JSON viewer opens go to the Raw tab in the viewer or use the view-source: prefix (view-source:file://) in the location/address bar to get the raw code.

json = document.querySelector("pre").textContent;
var signons = JSON.parse(json);
var names = "";
for (var i=0; SG=signons[i]; i++) {
try {
 var host = SG.hostname||"";
 var user = SG.username||"";
 var pass = SG.password||"";
 names += "<tr><td>"+ (i+1) + "<td>" + host + "<td>" + user + "<td>" + pass;
} catch(e){}
}
var body = '<table border="1" cellspacing="0">\n'+
'<tr class="head">\n'+
'<td>#\n'+
'<td><b>Host</b>\n'+
'<td><b>User name</b>\n'+
'<td><b>Password</b>\n'+
names+
'</table>\n';

document.body.innerHTML = body;

WHAT happened to SIMPLe printscrn to capture logins and paswords then use paint to print...that used to work but has problems now? the above solution instructs to do something that is not understandable to average user. please try to find and provide a solution for all of us dummies?

in addition to above request..I tried "password exporter" i think was the name but after exporting to file in documents with .xml suffix and try to edit it bring MORE gibberish "schema" which no one know how to use..sadly. please try to provide SIMPLE solution..thanks so much

You can use this code in the command line in the Browser Console to export the names and passwords to a file in JSON format. You need to set devtools.chrome.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable the command line.

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Tools/Browser_Console

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

You need to open the Browser Console.

• "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

• paste the JavaScript code in the editor area
• click Run to run the JavaScript code
• click Inspect to inspect the result

The default file name is firefox-logins.json

/* export the names and passwords in JSON format to firefox-logins.json */
var tokendb = Cc["@mozilla.org/security/pk11tokendb;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIPK11TokenDB);
var token = tokendb.getInternalKeyToken();

try {token.login(true)} catch(e) {Cu.reportError(e)}

if (!token.needsLogin() || token.isLoggedIn()) {
 var logins = Services.logins.getAllLogins();
 var json = JSON.stringify(logins, null, 1);

 var ps = Services.prompt;
 var txt = 'Logins: ' + logins.length;
 var obj = new Object; obj.value = json;

 if (ps.prompt(null, 'Logins - JSON', txt, obj, null, {})){
 var fp=Cc["@mozilla.org/filepicker;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIFilePicker);
 fp.init(window,"",Ci.nsIFilePicker.modeSave);
 fp.defaultString = "firefox-logins.json";

 fp.open((rv) => {
 if (rv == Ci.nsIFilePicker.returnOK || rv == Ci.nsIFilePicker.returnReplace) {
 var fos = Cc['@mozilla.org/network/file-output-stream;1'].createInstance(Ci.nsIFileOutputStream);
 fos.init(fp.file, 0x02 | 0x08 | 0x20, 0666, 0);
 var converter = Cc['@mozilla.org/intl/converter-output-stream;1'].createInstance(Ci.nsIConverterOutputStream);

 converter.init(fos, 'UTF-8', 0, 0);
 converter.writeString(json);
 converter.close();
}})
}}

You can open this firefox-logins.json file in a Firefox tab. You can paste this code in command line in the Web Console.

• "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

In case the builtin JSON viewer opens go to the Raw tab in the viewer or use the view-source: prefix (view-source:file://) in the location/address bar to get the raw code instead of formatted code in the builtin JSON viewer.

try{json = document.querySelector("pre").textContent;}
catch(e){json=prompt(e+"\n\nPaste JSON data","")}
var logins = JSON.parse(json);
var i,LG,names = "";
for (var i=0; LG=logins[i]; i++) {
try {
 var host = LG.hostname||"";
 var user = LG.username||"";
 var pass = LG.password||"";
 names += "<tr><td>"+ (i+1) + "<td>" + host + "<td>" + user + "<td>" + pass;
} catch(e){}
}
var body = '<table border="0" cellspacing="0">\n'+
'<tr class="head">\n'+
'<td>#\n'+
'<td><b>Host</b>\n'+
'<td><b>User name</b>\n'+
'<td><b>Password</b>\n'+
names+
'</table>\n';
document.body.innerHTML = body;

Print Screen works for me in Firefox 43.0, to capture an image of the Login Manager panel.

Yes, 43 does capture but I get the WHOLE desktop screen,with it . I only want/need the logins and passwords. any suggestions?

THANKS A LOT...I will try it right away and let you know my results!

Co-rel, I have been trying to copy/paste the code you sent but have not been able to PASTE in browser console.. I cleared console so it would only have pasted code but it refuses to accept paste! what am I doing wrong??? ireally thank you for trying to help such a dummy..

Did you enable the command line in the Browser Console?

You can set devtools.chrome.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable this command line.

You may have to type some text to allow to paste text.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
