As I said: *I* am neither against nor for it. Because on the one hand it 
could cause security problems (since everything is not save and 
especially this this technology is very new and still in active 
development, so it's not tested in detail (yet)) and moreover it could 
make people forget their passwords, but on the other hand it's clearly 
simpler, faster and more convenient.

So; OK. On the whole, I prefer to let the end-user of IceCat decide 
whether to use or not use this feature.
