Password Managers for Firefox

If you aren't eager to use OpenID to avoid having to remember multiple Web site passwords, then Password Hasher Firefox Extension or Password Safe may be tools for you.

DarkNet.Org. has this summary of Password Hasher Firefox Extension:

* Strong passwords are automatically generated. * The same master key produces different passwords at many sites. * You can quickly upgrade passwords by “bumping” the site tag. * You can upgrade the master key without updating all sites at once. * It supports different length passwords. * It supports special requirements, such as digit and punctuation characters. * All data is saved to the browser’s secure password database.
Here is a description of Password Safe:
Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes.
