Seems like code hasn't made it into core yet. Bummer.

Although now they should probably target the secret service api [1]. 
Then they can have nice integrated password storage on both GNOME and KDE :)

Yes! You can do this:

https://live.gnome.org/CryptoGlue/Integration#Firefox

Or add "/usr/lib(64)?/p11-kit-proxy.so" as a module.

If you're using a gnome-keyring version older than 3.0 the instructions 
vary slightly.

Although with the following caveat: the gnome-keyring key storage has 
some missing gaps. If you run into problems, I'll work with you on it. 
Ping me on IRC (gimp.net #keyring) or via email.

Cheers,

Stef
