There's a plugin for Firefox that does this as well, though I haven't
tried it out...anyone used it yet?

What does that offer that a simple shell script cannot?
(Apart from the lack of security that doing it over an unsecured
connection doesn't.)

After trying it out, it's pretty awesome. This gets around Chris'
comment about doing it over a secure connection, plus it has tons of
options. Check it out!

It doesn't address the point of "why bother when it's simple to

So...why bother, when a password generator script is so trivial?

It is local. It just brings up a dialog box in Firefox, which is where
I'm entering most of my passwords anyway.
As far as the script goes...I'd rather not write my own script when I
could just take the (almost literally) 5 seconds it takes to get a new
extension. I could write a script, but it wouldn't have the same number
of features (you can do a lot with that extension) or be graphical.
*shrug* Just a matter of preference, I guess...I personally have become
a fan.
