Haha, it was just the attitude I'm seeing suggests that we're somehow at the behest of Mozilla engineers and we just have to wait, but that's one of the great benefits of open source, we really aren't.

And I haven't looked but I imagine changing the encryption algo isn't a huge task, I wasn't suggesting that a non-Mozilla worker implement something huge like zaarn's suggestion, which fwiw I think is awesome as I don't use FF built-in password manager and find it just gets in the way.
