The clear-text storage of Chrome passwords and the Google devs stubborn refusal to admit that this is a problem is VERY old news.
It has been discussed ad nauseum for years. As is the frequent suggestion to store all passwords via third party utilities or services (keepass, lastpass, etc).
The password protected password manager is the main reason why Firefox remains my primary browser. If my laptop is stolen, I'm confident that my passwords will be safe (although I still do not store banking related passwords.)

Encrypted passwords are only unlocked in FF during a single browser session after one has entered the master password. Do people not understand this??
