The petname toolbar stores public key/url pairs for firefox - or used to 
until firefox 2.0 broke it.  I have found this extremely useful, and 
impatiently await the 2.0 compatible version.

This really should be incorporated as a standard part of firefox, though 
perhaps with a more space efficient interface - one that only comes up 
for https protected forms that expect input.
