I use a couple of little scripts to do something somewhere in the middle that I'm happy with:

`fzf-dmenu` spawns an alacritty window running fzf over given input.

`pass-dmenu` calls the former with available password names; takes the result (if any) and decrypts & types it with `pass show $result | xdotool type --file -`.

(And if it's not obvious, that's bound to a keypress, so from the browser I just hit F4, type e.g. 'hn<CR>' and my password is entered into the focussed input area.)

Some distros package browser extensions, so you can install them via your regular package manager. For example arch packages firefox-extension-passff (I haven't personally used it though)

You can disable automatic updates for the extension, download it manually, and inspect the XPI file before installing it.

Instead of clicking "Add to Firefox", you can right-click and "Save Link As..."
