Firefox can save passwords for you in the browser. If you have saved the password in the Firefox browser, you no longer have to enter the password when logging in to websites.

Firefox stores a password in the browser settings. Firefox encrypts your passwords locally in your user profile folder using a logins.json file.

Firefox uses simple cryptography to encrypt your passwords. Mozilla doesn't have the ability to see passwords, but Firefox does decrypt the password locally so it can enter it in form fields.

It is also possible to view the password in the Firefox browser. This is how it works.
