Apparently Firefox encrypts them using a common encryption algorithm and a master password you supply. Then the first time that you go to a web page where you need to log in (and have a saved password), Firefox asks you for your master password. Using that it decrypts the passwords and supplies the username / password for that web page. I am using that now for firefox. Of course I also just switched to Chrome... John W.
