fwiw there is nothing that web extensions lack that would prevent that from working

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Na... exists to allow web extensions to talk with programs on the computer, its up to someone to write the extension and executable for that usecase

Or to port an existing Chrome extension, as they work similarly now.

Issue thread: https://github.com/jfitzell/mozilla-keychain/issues/88

The OnePassword extension already does this fwiw.

(The webextension might be in beta? When I installed it a month ago it was in "beta" and had to be installed directly from their site, idk if they've uploaded it to the store yet)

Something like Keychain support seems high-risk to leave to third party addons? In the back of my mind I wonder if they'll also follow the Chrome model of malware takeovers.

Yeah, but asking Mozilla to include that maybe too much? I don’t know.

You could always export from keychain to another password manager and use that.
