Meanwhile I've found

        http://securityxploded.com/firepassword.php

"firemaster" is necessary for a master password (stored somewhere in  
"key3.db"; if there is no such master password then FirePassword (CLI)  
or FirePasswordViewer (Windows-GUI) do the job.

Thank you!

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
