I agree that a convenient way to export passwords would be helpful,
but if without it "Icecat will be useless", does that mean you don't
have your passwords stored anywhere else? You might want to consider
also storing them in a KeePass database.

Anyway, this is a bit inconvenient, but if you go into the settings of
Firefox, under the Security tab, click on "Saved Passwords...". In the
new dialog that opens, click "Show Passwords". If you don't find a
more convenient solution, this can allow you to copy passwords to
another source manually.
