Lockbox is considered secure, as it offers "newer encryption" according to the Mozilla Foundation. "Lockbox uses AES256-GCM encryption and HMAC SHA-256 ″ to corrupt stored data so that it cannot be retrieved."
Lockbox is available currently as an alpha version. This means that it has several limitations that you should be aware of before installing the extension.

The extension still does not have a password export function, but synchronization between different Firefox installations is supported and Firefox Sync seems to work.
