I'm thinking about doing a full disk encryption installation on my laptop but i want to know how much that would impact performance.
The only thing i need to be safe are my firefox passwords if i set a master key on firefox are my passwords secure ?
If someone would boot linux is it possible to read the partitions and find my firefox passwords ?

Should be.

Yes.

No--nobody stores passwords as plain-text these days.

For passwords, I use LastPass through security/lastpass-cli
