Expected results:
It would be great if firefox stores the primary password using the freedesktop secret service API if available in order to avoid the nasty primary password prompt when starting firefox. Most linux desktop environments bring a password vault (gnome-keyring, KDE wallet) and other password managers also support this API (keepassxc, ...). Chromium also uses the system password manager to store some kind of primary password.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Password Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

dev@sedrubal.de, his appears to be a duplicate, per bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1586072#c10. If not, can you explain how?
Thanks @zn7esutb@rokejulianlockhart.addy.io I also thinks this is a duplicate of #1586072 . However, I'm confused by the wording "as an additional Password Manager". My intention was, that I want to use Firefox with a Primary Password, but I don't want to enter that password each time I start Firefox. Instead, Firefox should get the Primary Password from gnome-keyring / kdewallet / ... . If the other issue has the same intention, I agree, that this is a duplicate ;)
