I think so.  I'm much more concerned about browser insecurities and
web application - cross site scripting issues.  Those are scarier.  In
fact, I don't have any special data on my computer.  It's all pretty
much on other web sites; e.g., banking and the like.  All of which I
have to access via a web browser.  If someone stole my computer today
they wouldn't gain anything really besides a piece of hardware.  My
data is not really financially important -- just stuff like music,
pictures, documents.  Whoop-de-doo.  I suppose if I worry about
passwords, I worry about what I use on those web sites and how they're
transmitted from my computer to those web sites, and how Firefox
stores them for me.
