[Bug 195108] [NEW] Firefox should make use of the GNOME passwords manager to manage its passwords

[antistress]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I've read that the passwords manager in Firefox 3 has been rewritten (from C++ to JavaScript) to be more flexible
Therefore Firefox should now use GNOME passwords manager to manage its passwords (like F-Spot does for instance) instead of having its own interface

(Web navigator is typically a software that has to manage a lot of
passwords ; it should be strange to not use the GNOME passwords manager
which exists for that purpose!)

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
