      A popup offered to save password. How is gnome-key-ring a part of my system? Is it only Firefox looking for it? I believe that Firefox has an internal password saver.

      System:

        Be specific – what popup?

        Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

        antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

          I changed a password for a web site. A popup dialog box apparently identified as gnome-key-ring appeared to offer saving the password.

            Don’t trust that web site is all I can say.
            Default firefox-esr may ask if you want to save a password, but it is not connected to gnome-keyring
