How to find forgotten password saved in Firefox browser?

Most of the times we use the Save password option in firefox browser so that we don’t have to keep typing the password always for logging into websites etc. and sometimes it comes to use when you browse many sites and keep forgetting what passwords you used for some sites.

When you forget the password, don’t worry if you had saved the password earlier when logging in. You can search for it in the settings section of firefox. Here I share the tutorial on how to find a password in firefox(mac) which you forgot.
In firefox for mac, go to Firefox main menu and click on Preferences. In the preferences section, go to the “Security” section. In that you see the option of Remembering passwords for sites, which is set Yes as default.
