Profile Password Hacked

I spent some hours on the internet searching for a method to bypass this FF Profile Password plugin but couldn't find anything relevant...With a little bit of tweaking, I managed to crack it myself.


  1. Exit firefox completele(from taskmanager if required)
  2. Goto your  profile  ->AppData->Roaming—>mozilla-->firefox—>Profiles--->select the next wierd named folder---> under that browse for folder named extensions->search for a file named 'profilepassword.jar'
  3. That it!…just rename that file..and you are done…
    it wont ask you for a password the next time you start firefox. 
              Voila!!!!    U have succesfully Hacked a firefox addon

Firefox profile Password hack


Add caption
If you are looking to protect your entire Firefox profile
if u want thatt only you can open firefox so that nobody else can use or see your stored passwords to sites like facebook
then a Firefox add-on called ProfilePassword will help you....
it basically asks fr a password before starting firefox and logs FF into your profile....
Once you have installed the add-on, setup the passwords from the add-on options....
done...
the next time you start Firefox, you will be promoted to enter your profile password, before you can start using the browser.
Please note, smart users can easily bypass this add-on, so there are no guarantees whatsoever, however it is still better than nothing.
