Recent Updates
Firefox 144+ Support
HackBrowserData now supports decryption of saved passwords in Firefox 144 and later versions.
Starting from Firefox 144, Mozilla migrated password encryption from 3DES to AES-256-CBC to enhance
security. HackBrowserData has been updated accordingly and remains fully compatible with the latest Firefox
encryption scheme.
