Passwords are not being masked

In FF 13.0.1 on my MacBook, none of the passwords that I manually enter are being masked. It happens on all sites and I don't have the extension that is designed to unmask passwords. Is there a setting for this?

Thanks! Charles

Did you check that in Safe mode?

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).
