Don't have Firefox remember passwords

If you use Firefox, make sure you don't have Firefox remember passwords for you. While this is convenient, it's a huge security risk. In Firefox, you can got to Preferences -> Security -> Show Passwords... and it will show you all of the passwords that have been saved. In clear text! Anyone who gets access to your computer can see all of your saved passwords.
