I know what he means, basically Firefox can save passwords for you and stuff then you can use a "master password" in firefox to unlock all of the saved passwords so you can get on various forums and such without having to log into each one.

As far as recovering, your best bet will be searching around google for Firefox Master Password Recovery or something like that... or ask somewhere on their website.

well i belive the reason a reinstall didnt help is because the accual password file isn't saved in the monzilla folder, in fact i have no idea where it is. im going to bet its saved some where deep in the windows folder, or a regestry key. either way im not borded enought to go looking for it...
