How can I trust firefox password manager
Firefox password manager is safe? Can you give us some information about it? Focus mainly on: how is it difficult to crack passwords on firefox password manager to a hacker? How our data is stored, i.e. the type of encryption, both in my computer and your server?
The names and passwords stored in logins.json is encrypted with an encryption key that is stored in the file signons3.txt.
The master password adds an extra level to this encryption.
If you do not use a master password, then having access to key3db and logins.json is not enough to have access to the encrypted names and passwords by placing the two files in one Firefox profile folder.
Make sure to use a password is strong enough, for example at least 10 or 12 characters and a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols that can be found via a dictionary search for combining words and you should be safe.

I have two youtube accounts, but Firefox has stopped reminding the password on one of them. Unfortunately I remember is no longer the password, like Firefox still remembered up to now. How can I access the password in Firefox, or is that not possible?
Try the menu Tools, Options and then on the Security tab.
Look for the "Passwords" section. From there, you should be able to see or manage stored passwords.

(1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
(2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master
password for things Thunderbird stores)
Just answer (Email removed by mod)You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

How can I add a password that I told firefox to forget
How can I add a password that I told firefox to forget. I can't 'change my mind' for some websites that I decided to add to the passwords.
Some sites like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live, and bank sites use autocomplete = "off" to prevent Firefox to save and fill in the name and the password.
If a site uses autocomplete = "off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the attribute autocomplete and Firefox will provide store name and password.

How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox
My younger sister run my firefox just to this afternoon (she origin use IE), and she saw something that is not visible. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox?
Another option is the master password + extension.
You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.
As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.

How can I store the passwords that have been deleted
I had the usernames and passwords stored for multiple accounts of e-mail on the same site. These have been accidentally deleted from the list of saved passwords, and now I can't get Firefox (23.0) to remember once again. I have no password check enabled (behind a master password), and this site does not appear on the list of "exceptions." In the password management utility, there is no facility to add new passwords, not to remove them. It seems, once removed, Firefox assumes one will never want to save this site again.
I'm in and out of these accounts literally dozens of times a day and now connect in the manual every time. How can I get Firefox saves these combinations of name of user and password for me again?
Yes. AutoComplete = off is a direction that web sites can give a browser to instruct them not to store the data that you enter in an input field. This can be search terms that you enter on a Web site like Google, but also the privacy and security of sensitive data such as a credit card number.
If you use the bookmarklet so you know what you are doing and give it a second thought.
If you use the extension that you don't notice that a Web site prefers that you do not to save this data.With recording a password, you will need to confirm a prompt, but the other form data can be recalled if imperceptible autocomplete = off is removed.

I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.
Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.
The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwordsAdmittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.
