Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Thank you, Antonela! A couple of things occur to me:

 * I am reluctant to save a list of websites and passwords on the user's
 machine. On the other hand, it's inconvenient to have to repeatedly enter
 a password. So maybe we could allow saving the onion password behind a
 master password, using Firefox's password manager? (I don't know anything
 about Firefox's password manager yet. We would need the encrypted password
 database to hide the list of individual usernames and sites.)
 * I think it could be useful to mention in the UI that this is an Onion
 Authentication (distinct from an HTTP Basic Authentication). Maybe we even
 want a special logo. :) Also, it might help to include a "more info"
 button or similar.
