 I would like to see the feature print what you see in the print properties. How can I make that the new firefox has it? More info about my idea: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Printing_what_you_see
+== Master Password and password security ==
+Dear Firefox developers et al.,
+I enjoy saving passwords, it makes my life a little less complicated, however I hate having them easily exposed by someone going to my preferences and being able to view them with relative ease.
+It has come to my attention that the master password feature is ultimately useless, I presume that many people use a same or similar password for most of their user accounts and that the master password STILL requires a password to be entered simply to allow someone to have it inputed automatically.
+My suggestion is to have a security center password which is required to view/delete/add saved passwords.  Passwords that are saved are accessible without the need for entering a master one when viewing such a page.  The saved passwords function as they would without a master password, the only change being as far as viewing them, adding them, and deleting them.
+The master password idea is good but for now I cannot save passwords because either the security risk is too great or the hassle (because I still need to enter a pw) is too great.
+This site is also somewhat difficult to come by, my apologies in advance for posting in the wrong location.
+Please return the spirit of the saved password to its rightful place so I may once again browse 100% happy.
