Perhaps you're thinking of Zotero (www.zotero.org)? It's open-source, works as a Firefox plug-in, and is under active development.
The latest version, which allows synchronization across multiple machines with data-base saved on zotero's server IS beta, but I've been using it for several months now with no complaint. The non-synchronizing version (fine if you're not using several computers) is long-stable. It is not perfect in every way, but neither are the commercial packages, and I've found the forums and tech support very good -- even aside from the philosophical preference for open source, I like it a lot.
