Where does Firefox store passwords/usernames, i.e. on computer or offsite?

Asking due to security concerns.
If use this feature do you suggest I also use a master password.

See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Protecting+stored+passwords+using+a+master+password
Current Firefox versions (32+) store the names and passwords in the logins.json file in the Firefox profile folder and use the key3.db file to store the encryption key needed to decipher the encrypted passwords.

Where does portal store the username after a successful log in?

We have an intranet application, we use the portal security and login screen, etc.
I have written a stored procedure which requires two parameters. One of them we already have at the time we need to call it. The other is username. All we need
to know is how to get the username at the time we must call it. Where does portal store the username after a successful log in for the particular session this user is logged into?
I tried using the following syntax,
When i log in using PORTAL30 then it returns,
SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
2 from dual;
PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
PORTAL30
But when i logged in using some other user i.e.rtemps it returns,
SQL> connect rtemps@mpdb
Enter password: *******
Connected.
SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
2 from dual;
PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
PUBLIC
Why does it return PUBLIC, instead of RTEMPS?
rtemps is a Database user though.
How do i test this script for portal users?
Also my application is a multiple user application.
So at a given time, there could be more than user logged in, also there could be more than one sessions of the same user logged in.
what happens in that scenario?
Thank you,
Kalpa

still not working..
The first page my user goes to log in, is
http://159.225.218.59/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.draw_custom_login_page
when i look at this stored procedure, it makes a call to the following procedure,
PORTAL30_SSO.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
and passes a parameter ssousername
From here my user is directed to the home page, which is built using the portlets, the URL for the same is,
http://159.225.218.59/servlet/page?_pageid=255,257&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
This is where i want to pass the ssousername, so as to keep track of what the user is doing.
Question 1: where does this page physically reside, or how do i add the parameter ssousername to this page?
I have 1 HTML PORTLET, on this page, and the code behind this looks like,

<%@ page language="PL/SQL" %>
<%@ plsql parameter="i_pagenum" default="1" %>
<body>
<table width = 760>
<tr>
Link 1
</tr>
</table>
In the above code, when they click on link 1, it calls a database stored procedure(rpt_param_prov), which is also a psp page.
In here, i want to pass the parameter ssousername.
e.g. the link should look like,
Link 1
Again this is a HTML portlet, so i don't think it will recognize the psp tags.. so that probably might be another issue.
But this is what i want to accomplish. So i can use the user who logged in, for my audit trail application, which will be inserting a record in a database table, everytime, the user runs reports that are being clicked.. like link 1 in above example.
I don't understand why this is so hard.
When i tried
portal30.WWCTX_API.get_user, it still brings back PUBLIC or PORTAL30_PUBLIC.

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper?

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper? i was playing around with windows theme and I can't find the wallpaper that was displayed before.

Firefox saves downloads to wherever you specify. Check your settings in Tools > Options > General, Download section. If you have it set to "Always ask me where to save files", then only you know where they were saved.

Where does Firefox Store the bookmarks in the bookmark bar for Windows and is t viewable using a text editor?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/776604]''
My PC's motherboard has fried and as such I am working of a beatup laptop. I have a device allowing me to hookup my sATA drive to my laptop and would like to find my bookmarks I store in the bookmark bar without losing the one on my laptop.
Thanks.

The bookmarks are stored in a file called places.sqlite in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. This file is not viewable in a text editor.
One way to do this would be to create a new profile (Firefox stores user data in the profile folder), you can then copy the bookmarks and other user data such as passwords to the new profile. You will then have access to the data from the PC and will still have your current laptop data in its own profile.
For details on doing this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows] and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

Where does firefox store cookies?

Trying to locate the storage area for site programming testing purposes.

Firefox stores them in a file called cookies.sqlite inside your profile folder. For details of how to find the profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Where does ARD store password info

Has anyone else had this issue, which is absolutely infuriating? From time to time ARD freaks out, does something stupid and its absolutely absurd.
We just recently changed the passwords on our servers, simple enough, change the passwords in ARD, wrong. ARD is somehow magically recovering the original password the servers where first given.
I need to know where it stores its login info, or if even if the passwords are stored in a separate place I dont care. I just need to be able to do work on the server, and ARD just doesnt think I should.
Please help me, Im getting desperate.

They are encrypted and hidden, I don't know the actual location. What you need to do is change them in ARD then Quit the app then launch ARD to use it. The changes are made permeant when you close the app. So, if it crashed on you any changes were lost.. so it went with what it knew, and was saved.. it didn't really recover the old passwords.

Where does Firefox store my bookmarks and how can I retrieve them after reinstalling Firefox.I had to restore and reinstall Windows XP(32).

I have reteieved all my documents and settings and have recovered my E8 "Favorites" , but I can't find my FF bookmarks.

Bookmarks are stored in the '''places.sqite''' file in your Profile folder. Also, there are bookmark backup files in the \bookmarkbackups\ folder in your Profile folder.

Where does firefox cache the form parameters to be used in the reload event of a page that was the resposne of a HTTP POST request?

Suppose there is form in a web page and it submits data in HTTP POST method. After submitting the form, if I reload the page [either by the refresh button or back button; whichever applicable], firefox asks permission to resend the form data by saying "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action...". Now if the user clicks on the resend, firefox resubmits the form data.
So where does firefox store this from data for such future resending/resubmission?
Is it possible to retrieve/manipulate those stored form data?

I thought I'd tried that, as tried lots of other things like encoding URL, but obviously not as this works.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Where does Lion get its usernames? (former Linux user)

Just some minutes ago, I opened the lid of my Macbook and noticed that something was using the CPU for 50% continuously. When I opened Activity Monitor, the only two CPU-using processes were kernel_task and WindowsServer, but not enough to cover 50%.
Safari also wouldn't respond. Force-quitting worked, but starting it again would show the window but then result in a spinning beachball of death.
When I opened the terminal, the prompt said "I have no name!@macbook$ "
When I typed the command "id", it gave me a user ID (502) but no username!
After killing all apps and mucking about, the CPU suddenly went back to the normal 3-5% usage, and everything worked fine again.
Obviously, something went wrong with the process that does the user identification. As a former Linux user, I'd say the user data resides in /etc/passwd but that's not where it's at. Where does Lion get its usernames and passwords?

OK thanks for the DSCL tip. I've found another thread with the same symptoms:

Where does Mail store its todos?

Where does Mail store its todos? I'm trying to restore lost todos from time machine. help!

I also found my to-do's for my imap account in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).imap/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics.
In addition, I found to-do's created in iCal in /Users/<username>/Library/Calendars/(long letters-numbers name).calendar/Events/(long letters-numbers name).ics. Scroll through the files in the events folders, find the date created or due date of the to-do and double click it. It will take you to the to-do in iCal.
In general, the to-do's will be in the Events folder of the Calendar they were created in. The iMap to-do's add another layer to the file structure.

some photos are quite large, so it would be good to know where they go, and how to manage the app.... ;)

Managing memory usage is not possible because the user does not have access to the file structure (unless you have jail broken your iPad that is).

Where does EBS store customized LOV elements?

Dear All,
We are developing a report on EBS r12 >> Payables >> Payments screen.
The Functional Consultants Team added a DFF ( view_inv_pay.DESC_FLEX ) with only 1 segment and its description at the Invoice Payment block level ( VIEW_INV_PAY )
which synchronizes with each matched row in this block.
The values of the DFF come by selecting from an attached customized List of value that the Functional Consultants Team had populated its elements using data loader.
We have a requirement to display the DESCRIPTION of DFF segment in the report not its actual value.
So the question is:
Where does EBS store the data related to a customized LOV ?
And how to join between the LOV’s under laying tables and the below report tables
( AP_CHECKS_ALL AC , HZ_PARTIES HZP , AP_SUPPLIERS PV , GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES GDCT , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL AIP , AP_INVOICES_ALL AI ) to display the DFF description?
Since, only the actual DFF values are stored in AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table.

Dear Sandeep,
That is great, but what about the joining condition.
I know that i can join by the segment value in the AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table
to be like below:
SELECT ffv.flex_value, ffv.description
FROM fnd_flex_values_vl ffv, fnd_flex_value_sets ffvs , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL API
WHERE ffvs.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id
and API.SEGMENT1 = FFV.FLEX_VALUE ; -- Assuming that the actual DFF value stored in SEGMENT1
AND ffvs.flex_value_set_name LIKE '&value_set' But for tuning issues is there any an alternative to previous condition?
