I tested this for myself with Firefox 3.6.8 and Google Chrome
5.0.375.125. It DID NOT work. Chrome has the option to import passwords
from Firefox but when you use a Master Password in Firefox, Chrome was
only able to import the URLs to the websites for which I saved passwords
in Firefox.

I think (and hope) the passwords are encrypted in Firefox when you use a
Master Password. Can anyone confirm that?
