Support for MacOS Keychain, or APIs to allow an extension #2518

Requesting that Waterfox add support for the MacOS Keychain so it can access and store logins there instead of it's own proprietary system.

There is a Firefox extension which does this called Keychain Services Integration, however it was rendered useless in Firefox 57+ when the necessary APIs were removed. There are numerous requests to implement necessary APIs in the new Webextension framework to make it possible to port this extension, but the Mozilla developers refuse to implement.

There are also requests for Firefox to add Keychain support, but those are also being refused and discussion has been censored/suppressed.

Detail on this can be found in the github issue for Keychain Services Integration here:
jfitzell/mozilla-keychain#88

I have been using Waterfox Classic ever since Firefox 57 came out, but it is becoming unusable due to increasing incompatibility, not to mention minimal security updates at this stage.
