I personally like MyPasswordSafe. It is Qt-based (which I don't really
care for), but it is very nicely implemented. There is another one
which is packaged for Debian which is gtk2-based, but I did not like the
interface so much and it seemed a bit clunky to use.

If you intend to swtich around (Linux/Windows/MacOS) a lot, you might
want to consider Password Gorilla. It is a Tcl/Tk application and runs
on all three platforms. However, it is not, AFAIK, packaged for Debian.
I am not crazy about its interface, but it is nice when you can use the
same application the same way on multiple platforms.

There are programs that store and manage passwords for you, e.g.
'gpass' and 'mypasswordsafe'. I don't know about something that will
actually fill out forms for you.

Never having used 'doze, I don't know RoboForm. However, both IceDove
and Konquorer will do this: fill out a form once, it will ask if you
want to save the information for the next time it sees the form. Ditto
passwords.

Firefox is now IceWeasel (Mozilla is IceDove)...

YMMV
