Password Exporter is a free Firefox add-on to export saved Firefox passwords as CSV files and later import them. This extension basically allows you to save all your saved passwords as a CSV or XML file locally which can be later imported back when needed. It also has an obfuscation feature to make the imported file hard for anyone to read. This is for protecting your passwords from any casual user of your computer.
Having a CSV file of all your saved password can also save you from any trouble if you tend to forget any of those passwords and are not able to login on other devices. It also comes in handy if you want to reset your browser as you can easily import the passwords back on after resetting your browser.
