This HAS been implemented as an addon: https://github.com/infinity0/mozilla-gnome-keyring

The problem is that it has to be a binary add-on and is therefor next to impossible to maintain with Firefox' rapid release cycle. Some Linux distributions don't even ship Firefox development headers anymore, and comment it with "this should be integrated into Firefox, please contact upstream".

This is a pledge from a user: PLEASE integrate this patch. This is functionality that is wanted and needed (since the Master-password stuff is indeed a giant mess) by a lot of people and you even have a patch provided and people willing to maintain it.
