Expiring same problem too. For KDE environment this issue can be fixed via extension https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/kde-wallet- password-integratio/ but there are no easy-to-install way for Gnome.
So most of users stores Firefox passwords non-secured like as plain text, this is large security hole! Using master password is not good solution, because users will must enter it after each restart firefox. Google Chrome have build-in support for Gnome Keyring and KDE Wallet, so will be good if Firefox can have this support too! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41179 Title: Integrate with Gnome Keyring Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xulrunner-1.9” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xulrunner-1.9.1” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: For a really good Gnome integration, it would be great to have the ability to save passwords in the Gnome keyring.
