You might be able to make expect work if you use lynx/links or other terminal based browser, but your end browsing experience would probably not be ideal.

What you appear to be desiring sounds dubious at best and I can't see any non-illicit value to it over storing your username/password in firefox. So I would recommend storing your username/password in firefox.

That said, expect will only work with terminal i/o as far as I know (though my knowledge is pretty limited). gui scripting is a whole different ballgame. See GUI Testing Tools on Wikipedia for more info.
