I am looking for a password manager that integrates with IceCat, with a menu of choosing what account to login with that is good for example webmail.

Preferable that use the Evolution database that is standard in Gnome that use the front end seahorse. The best alternative I have found is the Firefox extension GNOME keyring password integration 0.2 that can be installed in IceCat but it automatic fills the login and password.

The best browser integration alternative seems to be KeePass2 with mono (That is not recommended) and KeeFox. I have tried to configure it but I cant figure it out. Unknown KeePassRPC.plgx plugin file, KeePass location that KeeFox dont save and more. KeeFox needs KeePass 2.19 or later and KeePassX is at 2.0 Alpha 6.

Is their a better alternative out there?

Maybe this will be useful:

Locate the KeePassRPC.plgx file in your Firefox profile directory (by
default ~/.mozilla/firefox/[randomstring].default/), under
name at domainson/deps/. Chdir to this directory, and
install it using

sudo cp 'KeePassRPC.plgx' '/usr/lib/keepass2/plugins/'

Thanks...

I have solved it. It was easy now. The answer is to close most of the times. Im posting what I did if someone has the same problem here was I did. I may not remember everything 100% correct but the text below seems to be right. I have not double checked if it works.

Followed this guide:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/291002/how-to-integrate-keypass2-and-firefox-using-keefox-passifox-in-ubuntu-13-04-13

ALMOST QUOTE:
--
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jtaylor/keepass
(Only needed if you want latest version)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install keepass2 mono-complete

Start KeePass2 - Create a database, give it a nice password and save it. Quit KeePass2.

Install KeeFox.

Go to Keefox Option: Click Advanced Tab and Locate your database file by clicking Browse...

Then Click KeePass next to Advanced Tab:
Set KeePassRPC Location probably it will be in:
name at domainson/deps

Set KeePass Installation Location:
/usr/lib/keepass2

Set Mono Location:
/usr/bin/mono

Now copy KeePassRPC.plgx file from
name at domainson/deps

And Paste it to folder
/usr/lib/keepass2

Start KeePass2. KeePass2 will find new plugin and you have to verify it with a little password generated by KeePass in KeeFox popup window.

Most of this could be done automatic by KeeFox installation.

After this KeeFox on every site says "You are not logged in to your password database." and wants to have KeePass2 running in the background even when it isnt needed. To remove that message I found under KeeFox settings, Notifications to remove the option "Display a notification bar when KeePass needs to be opened". How that will impact the rest of how KeePass2 and KeeFox works I do not yet know. Just started using it.
