Firefox is currently working on Quantum which should do what you're asking it to.
I've heard variants of that line for ... about 20 years now.
The nightly build is realllllly fast. It starts getting the result of their years of work to speed things up. But it's incompatible with some addons. E.G: lastpass will freeze the browser for a few seconds.
Might as well switch to the firefox-internal password store
It doesn't serve my use case.
