When signing in to a site my login email and password are normally shown with the password showing only dot's. Now it actually show's me a small grayish window under my password with the actual password visible ? Started doing this 3 x days ago

Chosen solution

Are you using any password add-ons or programs?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?
