Firefox ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE
Written by Anurag Bhateja on March 13, 2008 – 1:26 pm -Confused by the title? Well 99.9% of the people here using firefox are not at all aware of the fact that the store passwords in firefox can be seen anytime! Yes thats true that firefox will show passwords in alphabets and number or symbols rather than dots.! lets give it a try yourself.
Goto Tools>> options >> Security
Now Click on Show passwords
Now Click on Show passwords again and confirm!
Now next time you are going to cafe/friends’ place or using a public computer never use FIREFOX! or take care you don’t allow it to remember passwords.

I’m not sure my FireFox has this feature, but I consider it quite handy. If using a library computer or something like that, I suggest not remembering it or deleting it from the log. I found an option to ‘Never remember passwords…’ then, ‘For this site’, ‘For any sites’, or ‘For my favourites’.

For me, Google Chrome is the best.

Just to play safe, i’ll implement it right now (since it’s only took a 10-20 second)
Thanks for the tips.
