nothing fishy about, this just lets you store your username and password in password manager as u would at any other site. Its just that at some sites you dont get prompted by firefox to remember it.

Since FF has a security hole in its password manager, it seems to me a risky proposition to be putting financial account #s at risk.

Which is why it's better to not save any passwords automatically. You might as well write them on a sticky...

The sites that don't want you to save passwords usually have good reasons.
For example: Paypal. They don't want you to save your password for
good reasons.
It's really stupid to save your bank password in case something happens to your computer. Hackers are out there.
