It seems to be better at remembering passwords from signup, so the only missing ingredient seems to be generating a random password upon signup.

Last time I checked, Firefox saved passwords in plain text. Has that changed?

Firefox is perfectly capable of encrypting the passwords you save -- you simply have to set a master password for your keyring.

Not if you use a master password.
