What is Firefox Master Password and why you should use it...?

You can see saved Firefox passwords. It is a very useful feature for people like me who always forget their password. But what when you are sharing your computer with  others? Anybody can access the passwords stored in your Firefox.

To protect these stored logins Firefox has one additional feature  called “Master Password“. Most of us would have seen this at some time in the Firefox options window but never thought of using it. If you are not using this feature, you must start using it now for your own safety. Follow the steps given below to create a new master password on Firefox.  

1. At the left top of the window inside the Firefox browser, click on the “Firefox” button.
2. In the menu click on “options”.
3. In the pop-up window click on “Security” tab.
4. Check  “Use a master password” option.
5. Enter and confirm your password.
6. Click  on “Ok” to create master password.
7. Master password for your Firefox browser is activated

When in the next time anyone wants to see your saved password popup windows will come to ask a Master Password.

Such a small things, if taken care of can save you from big troubles in future.
