I trust password managers more than my ability to remember a strong, unique password for each of the 200 sites in my password manager, and more than my ability to identify URL phishing attempts 100% of the time. I use Firefox' built-in password manager because it's hard to write a secure content script in an add-on password manager[1], and because Firefox Sync encrypts passwords before uploading them to the web[2]. I also know that, if my password manager is ever breached, my most important accounts are also protected by 2FA.
