Firefox should use the OSX keychain instead of managing passwords itself. This
has several benefits:
1. passwords can be more easily shared/migrated between Safari/Camino/Firefox.
This will make it easier for people to migrate to the best browser (Firefox!)
2. OSX keychain has some nice features like automatic locking of keychains,
multiple keychains with different levels of control, integration in OS,
comments, etc.
3. centralisation of passwords is easier for a user to backup, migrate between
users, etc.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. save password in keychain
Actual Results:
Password saved in Firefox keychain
Expected Results:
Password should be saved in OSX Keychain.
Mozilla has a similar bug, but no progress:

I believe this is an important issue for Firefox to address on the OSX platform.

This bug's a dup of something from this list. I don't use a Mac so I'm clueless
as to which is the correct dup:

No, it is not a duplicate. Camino already has OSX keychain integration and the
bugs you found are mostly about problems in Camino implementation. Firefox has
no OSX keychain implementation at all.
I've already searched for duplicates and you'll see I reference a similar
request in the Mozilla project. But since Firefox, Camino and Mozilla are all
separate projects, I figure there are developers working on each and there
should be change requests filed separately.
Perhaps some of the Camino code could be ported to Firefox?

I'm *reasonably* certain that any code for Mozilla (Seamonkey) would be shared
by Firefox as well. Any UI certainly would be different as Seamonkey and
Firefox have different UI code, but aside from that I believe that bug would
cover this one.
It's a dup of bug 106400 because any such work for Firefox would be predicated
by Seamonkey work.
