Description
Patch firefox and thunderbird to use Ubuntu's password manager (just as an option might be better). That way one has to enter only one password.

here is a possible negative to this. Too many customizations to firefox or thunderbird would delay updates when new releases (security or new versions). most users want updates quickly especially when it comes to security.

I'd rather keep them separate, thank you. As much as I like centralisation for many things, I think that web passwords should be kept separate.
I don't know that I like deviating too much from Mozilla's official Firefox/Thunderbird codebase, either.

+ vote from me! Firefox3 should support gnome-keyring-manager and kwallet.

Also Firefox in Kubuntu should use Kwallet

@greyor: of course it should be configurable, so that the user may choose which one he wants to use.

Wouldn't it be possible to handle this by just coding a simple plugin for Firefox that handles it. Install the plugin, deactivate Firefox password manager and thats it?

Yes; this can indeed be done by an extension.
