Firefox and user names

Lets say I log in to my YouTube account automatically by having Firefox remember my name and password. Then a few years goes by and I have long forgotten my name and password. Then someone else comes along and logs in to their account. Lol. So my info is gone. Is there any file where this name might be stored? I already tried typing the first character to bring up a list but it isn't any of those. I went from a to z.
 
I looked in there and saw only one entry and it wasn't for YouTube. Is there anywhere else I can look?

That's where you find Firefox passwords. Maybe your YouTube credentials are done via cookie by YouTube. I don't know how you'd recover that. I'm sure a password saved that way would be hashed.
