You don't store passwords. You should remember them. If you do store them, they should be encrypted.

Provided it encrypts the passwords and requires a login to access it, it's ok.

It's a case of convenience or security. Sometimes the reward is outweighed by the risk.

I don't save any passwords in Firefox. As a general practice, you shouldn't. But for webforums and such, where you don't have anything to lose - it's not awfully important.

Yeah, plus firefox displays saved passwords in clear text in options. Wish it didn't do that.
