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

Gekose oplossing

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?

Problem resolved do not know how but today all back to normal passwords are only showing up as dot's ??? Will keep an eye on this for future input.
