It's a database, it can't be trivially converted to plain text. What kind of information do you want to extract and which output format do you expect?

Thanks for your response. I believe it's where the saved usernames:passwords are stored? Any output format is fine, I'd like to view the data in plaintext remotely.

It seems that the file is named in a misleading way. Quoting from this site: The key3.db file store the encryption key that is used for encrypting and decrypting the passwords. The encrypted names and passwords are stored in the logins.json file..

Thanks. I also saw stuff about logins.json in my search queries. But there's no such file in my /*-defaults/ directory and I'm positive I have saved passwords there. Do you know how to decrypt the logins.json?

Nope, but you can try reading Firefox's source code if you're familiar with programming.

Assuming you don't need to do this very often and are happy to do the first step manually, you could use Password Exporter, which I used to use before I switched to KeePass.
