In Mozilla Firefox you can look at your saved passwords but you cannot export them:

If you want to export the passwords and import them into DataInherit then follow these instructions:
1. Install Mozilla Firefox Add-On for Password Export
- Install the free Mozilla Firefox Add-on "Password Exporter" by Justin Scott using this link:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/2848
- Click "Add to Firefox" and follow the instructions. Restart Firefox in the end.
2. Export Passwords from Firefox
- Menu Tools > Options > Security, click the button "Import/Export Passwords"
- Click "Export Passwords" and confirm
- Change file type from (.xml) to (.csv) and save the password document on your desktop
3. Import Passwords into DataInherit
- Log into your DataInherit account using a browser (www.datainherit.com > "Login").
- Click button "More Actions" > Import Passwords, choose and open the CSV file from your desktop.
- Check "First line contains header data"
- Check "Remove quotes"
- Choose separator comma (,)
- Choose the character set that displays your special characters (umlaute etc.) best.
- When the table looks correct, then click "Import". All passwords will now be imported into your DataInherit account.
4. Choose a Title for each Password Entry
- Now every password entry displays the web address as its title, which is not so convenient. With a simple double-click on each password entry you can change the title: e.g. from "http://www.mybank.com" to "MyBank Login"
DONE!
