KeePass doesn't interface with the browser directly - instead (at least in Windows) it registers a global hotkey with the OS which will use the active window title to find an entry in your password database and then automatically fill in the form with your username and password.
KeePass features an "Auto-Type" functionality. This feature allows you to define a sequence of keypresses, which KeePass can automatically perform for you. The simulated keypresses can be sent to any other currently open window of your choice (browser windows, login dialogs, ...).
By default, the sent keystroke sequence is {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}, i.e. it first types the user name of the selected entry, then presses the Tab key, then types the password of the entry and finally presses the Enter key.
For sites or apps with weird forms you can customize the sequence.
