I use a mac and pc on a daily basis.  Does this addon keep new and existing 
logins in both the mac keychain and firefox sync?

I'm actually not sure as I don't use Firefox Sync; I don't like the idea of 
synching my passwords online. The addon simply provides an alternative password 
storage mechanism, so if Firefox Sync is using the standard library to get 
passwords to sync, I guess it might work fine.

If you try it, it would be good to know whether it works...

Backup your keychain and give it a try, I guess... I've had questions in the 
past about supporting storing the Sync password, which suggests people are 
using it, but nobody has ever elaborated. Keep in mind that if it does work it 
will probably sync all your Keychain passwords.

Hello!

Combining keychain backend and Firefox Sync does not work properly! For 
instance, passwords in my mac are not updated when I change them on another 
machine...
