Is it possible to have Firefox passwords leaked?

Is there any technology in Web that can steal passwords from Firefox (if they aren't protected with "master password")? Any script or anything else? Like I surf some page and it downloads files of Firefox with passwords. GNU/Linux of course.

Re: Is it possible to have Firefox passwords leaked?

To be the best of my knowledge, stealing passwords just by visiting a website isn't very feasible. There are however tools to decrypt the password database used by Firefox - even with a master password. So if someone exploited a bug and gained access to your system they could copy off the database and open that and get your passwords that way.
