Possible privacy issue with Spanish governative tool Autofirma

In order to digitally sign legal documents on a governative web portal, I've been obligated to install and use this Spanish governative tool on my win pc: https://autofirma.net/ My concern is about the fact that the Autofirma tool uses its own dialog to acquire Firefox Primary Password. So my question addressed to Firefox developers: since Autofirma acquire the Primary Password, can it also access my stored passwords? Or the use of Primary Password by Autofirma is limited to invoke Firefox?

This is suspicious. They shouldn't do it.
