I tend to use a mix and match of browsers, including Internet Explorer 8 [1], Firefox 3 [2], Google Chrome [3], Opera [4] and Safari, but having used Firefox for quite sometime, I have stored passwords to numerous websites in it. Being so used to the Password manager in Firefox definitely has its own flaws, which includes having the liberty to forget them, since you never have to enter it over and over again.
