Try the Password Exporter extension at
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/password-exporter/>.
While the Web page says "Not available for SeaMonkey 2.13.1", I am using
the extension with SeaMonkey 2.13.1.

After you install the extension --

1.  Go to [Edit > Preferences] on the SeaMonkey menu bar.

2.  Select [Privacy & Security > Passwords] in the left column under
Category.

3.  On the Passwords pane, select the "Import/Export Passwords" button.

4.  On the "Import/Export Passwords" window, you can select either the
"Export Passwords" button or the "View Saved Passwords" button.  The
former button throws up a file-selection window for saving the export,
with "Save as type" options of either XML or CSV.  The latter provides a
display of all domains and user IDs with an option to display the actual
passwords.

If a master password exists, the above will require that it be entered.
 Viewing the actual passwords in step #4 after selecting the "View Saved
Passwords" button will requiire the master password to be entered a
second time.
