If you are using KeePass on Fedora 25 or Ubuntu 16.04, you are in luck. There may be other addons or applications that may do the same task, KeePass is the used and tested application for storing passwords.
Background history: KeePass is built using Xamarin
Do try to use the default theme for Firefox, as there may be interface issue on a 3rd party theme.
Addons needed: PassIFox (either), KeeFox (either), KeePass Helper (optional).
First, you have to install the either one of the addons in Firefox: KeeFox, or PassIFox. These are the two available addons to act as a go-between for KeePass and Firefox. Personally, i prefer KeeFox, since it has better support at keefox.org
After adding this, we need to install the Mono files (which the application is built on) and extract the pre-built KeePass zip file.
To install Mono is a breeze, just go to the official Fedora community website and execute the Quick command. In Ubuntu, use the apt-get command to install the package 'mono-complete'.
The Keepass Professional file is found here: http://keepass.info/download.html.
Download and extract the lastest to a directory you found convenient, for e.g., /home/your_username/KeePass
In this directory, create a 'plugins' folder and paste the keepassRPC.plgx file into 'plugins'. The plugin can be found at the developer github repository:
https://github.com/luckyrat/KeeFox
You are ready to create a new database in a local directory (in .kdbx format) ,create a key file (in .key format) and a master password.
Remember to set the database or one of the subcategory as KeeFox start group as shown in the picture below.
Now you are ready to go with Keepass integration with Firefox.
