Passwort still stored in plain text in Firefox.

[kocjs]

Correct me if I have a wrong understanding.
Shouldn't there be no password accessible in Firefox?
If I navigate to preferences, security, saved logins i see them all.
I use debian 9 and installed the add-on form the repository

How Firefox should fill your password if it cannot read it? All the applications running under your user have access to unlocked keyrings.

All the applications running under your user have access to unlocked keyrings.

To all of them or only to the keyring connected to the particular application? I definitely don't want firefox to access my other keyrings.

For gnome keyring, see the FAQ here.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
This is definitely a security problem (browser having access to LAN credentials etc).
