There is also Secure Login: https://blueimp.net/mozilla/
"Secure Login
A Mozilla Firefox login extension similar to Opera's Wand login.
It uses the built-in password manager, but deactivates the prefilling of login forms.
Instead, you are now able to login with one click or a keyboard shortcut.
Just add the Secure Login toolbar button to your toolbar, or use the provided statusbar icon.
If you hover over one of the icons, a tooltip is shown, displaying the login url and the number of available logins (users).
For more than one user or login forms on the current page a selection prompt is displayed on login.
You have the option to play sound notifications (*.wav) for found login data on the current page or when logging in.
All the options can be changed using the Secure Login settings page.
The settings page can be opened via the Secure Login tools menu, the Secure Login statusbar icon context menu or via the list of installed extensions.
Secure Login provides you with a number of security enhancements
and helps protecting you from phishing."
