This is, I believe, a feature of the new Firefox 1.5***, and a good one.

To make this NOT show up to anyone happening to stumble by your activated computer, set a firefox master password.

Go to Tools, then Options, then the Privacy Tab. Click on "Set Master Password," then set your master password. Bada bing, bada boom, you can't see your passwords without entering this password.

Incidentally, this is yet another reason to NOT save your passwords on another's machine...you may not have the password required to clear your password.

Internet explorer stores your password in a file somewhere. I doubt that THAT's any more secure.
