libgnome-keyring has been deprecated for 4 years. [1]

Maybe https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/LibsecretMigration can help.

I apologize that a bug for this issue wasn't filed here sooner. By my
estimates, libgnome-keyring will otherwise be ready for removal from
Buster in early April.

As you're aware, xul-ext-gnome-keyring won't work with Firefox 60 ESR
anyway, which will be released in 2 months (Debian may delay the
switch a few months but that isn't very long really.) [2]
