I don't think there is an app to read the passwords, which are 
encrypted. If you're worried about your profile, back it up first, 
perhaps by zipping it and then after closing Firefox, you can delete and 
restore (make sure your backup is good first).
If this is a different profile from your usual, use the profile manager 
to change profiles, copy your passwords, the use the profile manager to 
switch back. Firefox.exe -help will leave a console window with 
instructions for changing profiles, starting with the profile manager etc.
