I am writing a password manager app, I do not want to copy paste passwords. I would like firefox provide an Android way of receiving, user id and password from other applications. Please define a Mime type for ACTION_SEND for login information by firefox.

I know it is in your best interests not to provide another simple/safe way as you are providing a password manager yourself. Please be open minded on this.

If this is implemented I will also promote (I know it would not even be a spec in the drop for) firefox thru my app for safely entering passwords.

Firefox desktop and Firefox Android already stores login details, and possibly a full blown passwords manager may be on the cards as a built in feature. Current features:
