This is a goddamned disaster. I'm just thankful that I use an offline password manager, but even still ...

I like FF, don't get me wrong, but this is going to absolutely fucking destroy user trust in Mozilla. This kind of incompetence, on a browser scale, is breathtaking.

I'm not sure this cert is used with the PW manager?

I think MrEldritch is referring not to Firefox's built-in password manager, but third-party password managers such as Bitwarden, KeePass, and LastPass. Those rely on add-ons for browser integration.

That's what I meant, yes. (I didn't even know that KeePass could be integrated with the browser, I've just been manually copy-pasting)

They don't have an official add-on, but they do list a few unofficial browser extensions on their download page: https://keepass.info/download.html

Example: https://subdavis.com/Tusk/

One you have targets mapped correctly keepass2android is great and I now that I've gotten used to it, I prefer the system ui password filling for everything including the browser. Also installing the keyboard extension is great and makes for an easy way to quickly access logins.
