## What it is
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
