How to hack all stored passwords - Firefox

Whenever we save any password in Firefox, the same can be retrieved by many ways...

Below I am explaining a very simple way to view all the stored passwords in Firefox if you forgot them(or want to retrieve them for backup or other purposes).

For doing so go to Tools -> Options -> Security -> Show Passwords
Just press yes button when prompter "Are you sure you wish to show your passwords?"

And here you are with the list of Site, user name & passwords.

How to protect your details?
All you need to do is
Go to Tools -> Options -> Security
Check the "Use a master password" check box & set the master password.
