Firefox Decrypt is a Python command-line tool that extracts saved passwords from Mozilla product profiles (Firefox, Waterfox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey). It decrypts profiles protected by a known Master Password using libnss3 and exports results in formats like CSV or pass.

Use cases

  • recover saved passwords from a firefox profile
  • export firefox passwords to csv
  • migrate firefox passwords to pass password store
  • extract thunderbird saved passwords
  • decrypt firefox profile with known master password
  • recover passwords from old browser profile backup

When to choose

  • you know the profile's master password and need to recover or export stored credentials
  • you want a scriptable, offline password extraction across Mozilla products
  • you're migrating credentials from Firefox to another password manager

When to avoid

  • you don't know the master password - this tool does not crack or brute-force it
  • you need a GUI password recovery tool
  • you intend to access profiles without the owner's consent
