Agreed that it feels unnatural to have to define a master password when you are using the native keyring. But bear in mind that the whole approach of continuing to use proprietary password storage, and keeping only a single decryption key in the native keyring, is unnatural to users and has the sole merit (I presume) of requiring fewer code changes. Proper integration means storing all passwords as regular entries in the native (login) keyring, where they can be inspected and even edited using standard tools like seahorse. This is what Chrome seems to do, and what you would expect any polite application to do. -- 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.
