When i type in my password into Yahoo o Gmail, it is visible for all to read. Before i updated to Firefox 3.6.8 when i entered my password the letters were disguised as little black dots, but now it is visible for all to see.

Every time Firefox opened

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...
