As has been suggested in many other similar threads, Pencil offers you a nice framework for prototyping and wireframing (even web stuff). And it's free.
I realise you've already said this isn't the answer you're looking for (having been linked to my question on the topic) but my scope is web development... Which is what you say you want to do. It's perfect for fleshing out page-level objects in a quick grid layout. Much more simple than a full graphics package, with various UI hints available as drag-on objects.
There's a deb package available for installation.
Lastpass works great for passwords (I use it with Chrome and Firefox, also on my Android device). XMarks works great for me for bookmarks (LastPass just recently acquired Xmarks, so there is likely integration coming). These tools work great across browsers, but also across platforms. Not sure why XMarks broke for you, but you may want to try again. I find it very stable and handles a huge amount of bookmarks for me.

Blender
Blender is the best free and open source 3D modelling program out there by a long shot!
The program is under constant development, has a huge community and has been used in many major films for video editing and 3D concepts. As Said before blender has new builds being uploaded hourly at graphicall.org and you can download all the official stable, aplha and beta versions of the program at belnder.org.
The community is friendly and welcoming and you can fit right in at sites suchs as blenderartist.org, blendernation and blenderguru (great website for tutorials. I myself have been using the program for about six years now, and have used it for both personal and commercial projects: These can be seen at (sixthlaw3d.wordpress.com).
To see the quality of what can be produced using blender, watch Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny and Sintel. All were created using blender, and other free software on Ubuntu.
The program has a brilliant set of tools, and the development team are constantly making improvements on the software to keep it cutting edge and competitive. This is a very, very short summary of this awesome program but check out it in more detail in the above links :)
Happy blendering!:)
