Firefox Decrypt is a tool to extract passwords from Firefox profiles.

It can be used to recover passwords from a profile protected by a Master Password as long as the latter is known. If a profile is not protected by a Master Password, a password will still be requested but can be left blank.

This script is written in Python and is compatible with versions 2.6-2.7.

Additionally it requires access to libnss3 which is part of Firefox and Thunderbird, although depending on system configuration, the script may fail to locate it there.

Alternatively you can install libnss3 (Debian/Ubuntu) or nss (Arch/Gentoo/...). libnss3 is part of http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/

Usage

Simply run:

python firefox_decrypt.py

and it will prompt for which profile to use and the master password of that profile.

If you don't keep your Firefox profiles on a standard folder you can call the script with:

python firefox_decrypt.py /folder/containing/profiles.ini/

If you don't want to display all passwords on screen you can use:

python firefox_decrypt.py | grep -C2 keyword

where keyword is part of the expected output (URL, username, email, password ...)

Changelog

0.2 - Added support for logins.json. New format since Firefox 32.

0.1 - Initial version supporting Firefox 3.5 and up.
