Open up the FireFox, go to Tools then click on Options and under security click Saved Password button. Window will pop up with all the saved password in FireFox. Still you cannot see the password. There is a button called Show Passwords at the bottom of the window. Click on that and you can see the URL, user name and password. Do you need anything else?
This is in default settings. So how many of you use a master password for FireFox? I am sure you might have done save password in your FireFox most of the time. If so apply a master password so other will not have access to your saved password list.
This is quite simple but other who have access to your computer can grab your password for facebook, hotmail, gmail or any other account easily. This works for pretty much all the FireFox versions without any problem.
