Password in Access Data is not displayed in full length,
not in every case?

I'm not sure what you mean by "Password in Access Data". Is this about something on a web page, or within Firefox itself? (Maybe you could attach a screenshot to show the problem that you're seeing.)

In German the Firefox Tab is called "Zugangsdaten und Passwörter"
It opens Firefox Lockwise
There you can display the stored Password of a website
In some cases the displayed Password there is shorter then the copied Password?
(Don't know how to attach a screenshot here?)

OK, so this is about the Lockwise screen - thanks.

You should be able to attach a screenshot using the Attach New File button above your original report (in the Attachments section; if this is collapsed, click the ▸ arrow to expand it).

Also, which "Standard Font" setting are you referring to? Do you mean a setting within Firefox, or a Windows setting?

Just found out that change of Standard Font does not cause this problem
Suggesting that it works in older Firefox versions and bug is new
Please find attached the Firefox Tab in German with example of not complete displayed password
Thanks for your help so far

That's interesting, it shows the password being displayed in a variable-width sans-serif font (Arial, I guess), but it's supposed to be shown in a fixed-width font like Courier. Have you changed your Windows font settings in some way?

Do you still see the same problem if you run in Safe Mode? (From the Help menu, choose Restart with Add-ons Disabled; I'm not sure what the German version of this is called).

(I hope that's not part of your real password in the screenshot, by the way -- if it is, you'd better change it immediately!)

Changing product and component because it seems that the font is being rendered correctly - it's just the wrong font.

Component: Graphics: Text → WebPayments UI
Product: Core → Firefox

Starting Firefox without AddOns or changing or Scaling (100, 110, 120 percent) does not solve the problem
In some cases password is displayed only with 6 characters, rest missing
And in other cases 10 or more characters are displayed
Let me close this case an hope new Firefox version will solve this bug

The issue here is appearing in the about:logins page, so moving to that component. I have not been able to reproduce this, however; could it be related to the localized build somehow?

Type: enhancement → defect
Component: WebPayments UI → about:logins

Can you please attach a screenshot of the URL chrome://browser/content/preferences/dialogs/fonts.xhtml? I wonder if you changed the "monospace" setting on that page to a font that isn't monospace…
