User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140506152807 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Mozilla Firefox. 2. Enter any Site requesting for credentials (eg: https://mail.google.com) 3. Then Enter UserName and Password.. 4. I get a Popup "Remember Password" 5. I say "Yes" 6. I Logout of the site... 7. I Close the Firefox. 8. I Open Firefox again and open the site. 9. Now my details are auto populated... (This expected,since i have asked to remember the password) 10. Now i click on the password Field. 11. Right Click and do Inspect Element.. 12. I go to the password ID as an example shown below… <input id="Passwd" class="" type="password" placeholder="Password" name="Passwd"> 13. I change the type from “password” to “text” and hit enter 14. The webpage then no longer shows the password as character instead shows the full password in text format… <input id="Passwd" class="" type="Text" placeholder="Password" name="Passwd"></input> I believe the inspect element tool should be restricted to change the Password Fields Type values, Else it can cause a security breach… Kindly advice if this BUG was already seen ,… do we have any plans or restricting the same.. Since it is a threat to security specially with shared computers in Internet Café’s… I had reported a BUG 1016319 but that is not seen now... Actual results: After changing the Type from "Password" to "Text" the Password field changed to Text type and the password is visible... Expected results: The Password Field should not be allowed to change the Type... the Inspect element tool should be restricted for changing the type's of password fields...
