I'm on ecrypfs so this should be fine.

Luckily they are hashed on my Linux system.

As they are normally in the home directory they are protected by ecryptfs.


So this makes at least my system most vulnerable by a cold boot attack.


Just to go sure: As I know if security.ask_for_password is set to 1 Firefox 
will always ask for the master password. I'm assuming now Firefox does 
overwrite it in the memory too immediately after it was entered and Firefox 
could (not) find the needed username/password entries. Or am I wrong?
