Honest question...did all those services in the past create jumbled
random passwords for you so you don't even know them?

I'm not sure I would trust this thing. One glitch or breakdown from
either your computer or Firefox and all your online accounts are done
with, right? Well, maybe that's exaggerating. Maybe you could go to
each and every site and use the "recover password" option...unless
that uses your email account - you don't even know the password to
that (unless you can recover it, too).

What happens if I'm on a friend's laptop and I wanna check my
Facebook? I don't know the password - my browser does. So would I be
royally screwed if I wanted to use a different computer some time.
What if I get a new computer (or if my old one crashes or gets
stolen)? This whole thing seems like a mess waiting to happen (mostly because I don't even know my own passwords).

you use log me in to connect to your computer or put portable firefox on a thumb drive. i am sure if you wanted you could export them to some sort of text document or back them up to an xml file.
