    I store passwords for some less sensitive websites such as most forums. I do not keep passwords for e-mail accounts and banking sites in-browser.

    From what I understood, passwords in Chromium based browsers aren't safely stored. But the new Firefox does encrypt passwords, so if malware steals them, hackers still need to decode them obviously.
