The Password Manager has always encrypted the login data. If you want this not to be, you can use another program/ add-on instead of the manager. There are also form-filling add-ons.

There were/are 'reveal password' type add-ons. But the data would still be encrypted in the profile folder.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
