Currently you can copy the password (bullets) via the doorhanger when visibilityToggle;false. I think we should completely disable copying in the password field whenever visibilityToggle;false. Users might get the incorrect impression and think they're actually copying the password in bullet form but in actuality they're just copying the bullet characters.

STR:

- ensure signon.rememberSignons.visibilityToggle;false
- login into any website
- once the doorhanger appears, select the password field and copy (I used the keyboard shortcut)
This seams to only affects OSX..

- Win 8.1 x64 -> couldn't reproduce
- Win 10 x64 -> couldn't reproduce
- Ubuntu 14.04.2 x64 -> couldn't reproduce
OS: All → Mac OS X
Hardware: All → x86
bah.. reproduced it on Win 10 using fx40.. I'll go through each OS/branch create a matrix of what's working where.
