For your master password, install the Show Password On Input extension
from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/show-password-on-input/>.
 The Web page for the extension indicates "Not available for SeaMonkey
2.38".  Use the converter at <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> to
update the range of SeaMonkey versions.  Under "Advanced Options", you
only need to allow "Add SeaMonkey to install.rdf and set maxVersion to"
for "2.*"; you can clear all the checkboxes.

This extension puts a checkbox on the popup dialogue for entering your
master password.  If the checkbox is checked, the master password is
displayed as plain-text.  For safety, the checkbox always defaults to
unchecked every time the dialogue is launched.

See bug #230564 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230564>, which shows no
activity towards implementation.

--------------------------------------------------

For passwords used to login at Web sites, install the Show my Password
extension from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/show-my-password/>.  The
Web page for the extension indicates "Only with Firefox — Get Firefox
Now!".  Again, use the converter at
<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> to make the extension compatible
with SeaMonkey.  In this case, you might need to have all checkboxes
checked.

After the Web site password is entered, you must click on the ●●●●●●●●●●
to select it, click on it again to deselect it, and click even again to
select it.  Right-click to get a pull-down context menu and select "Show
password".  The display is not persistent; almost anything you do will
cause it to revert back to ●●●●●●●●●●.

See bug #502258 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502258>.  This one has
very recent activity towards implementation.
