In Mozilla Bugzilla #309807, Sylvain Pasche (sylvain-pasche) wrote on 2007-06-04:

One potential issue I'm seeing is that nsILoginManagerStorage makes synchronous requests, which will freeze the UI while Gnome Keyring is asking for the password.

I'm not completely sure, but I also have the feeling the OS X Keychain API blocks the calling thread while waiting for the password (SecKeychainFindInternetPassword). That would mean the same issue happens for the OS X implementation.
