Warning: plain-text password in about config, filter xmpp (FireFox only)

This only happens if you have xmpp4moz, and save your jabber a/c password in it's Account Manager.
- Launch Firefox
- type 'about config' (without quotes) in address bar
- type 'xmpp' (without quotes) in filter bar
- look for 'xmpp.account.1180919090843.password' (the numbers may be different). Your password is in the next column.
- just a friendly reminder from your friendly neighbourhood... programmer :D
