This is only with Hotmail. IE has no problem. When I right-click on password box, the option to Paste is faded out.

I never noticed that before. Perhaps it's related to the block on autocompleting that field? Ctrl+v still should work.

No problems here on Linux despite the autocomplete=off
I see an enabled Paste in the right-click context menu.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

CTRL+V didn't work. Thanks, anyway. Chuck
