Tips & Warnings
Sometimes, you can just login to a website with a new password and Firefox will ask if you want to change the stored password. Click "yes," and you won't have to go through the removal steps to change the password.
You can set a "Master Password" in the "Options" window, under "Passwords," to ensure that your passwords are secure. Be warned, however, that if you lose the Master Password, you will not be able to view or change the stored passwords.
