I still prefer storing only master password because of loose coupling.
I am also in favor of storing the master password in the keyring as it seems the less intrusive approach and the most likely to land soon. It might not be a perfect solution but it improves the usability of the master password a lot. Besides once the harness is in place it will be easier to change the behavior (to store a random password, add a salt or whatever else). The only thing that we might want to change compared with the existing patch (of which I'm reattaching a refreshed version again) is probably in the UI part where we probably want the option to be shown in the same dialog as the master password instead of on a separate pop-up. I've looked at the password manager log and it seems to me that Justin Dolske comes up often both as a contributor and a reviewer so I'm needinfo'ing him here as he's both a Firefox and Toolkit peer in the hope he's the right person to ask. Justin could you have a look at the approach we're taking here or point us to someone who could help out with this? -- 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.
