Steps to reproduce:
Take any form with password input, for example:
<html>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
<form>
<div>
<label>User:</label>
<input id="username" type="text">
</div>
<div>
<label>Password:</label>
<input id="password" type="password">
</div>
<div>
<input id="submit" type="button" value="Log In">
</div>
</form>
</html>
Actual results:
Plain characters are displayed in Print preview dialog (a pic is attached) and printed.
The issue happens with current Firefox 150.0.1, Nightly 152.0a1 (2026-05-07) on Mac, Linux and Windows. The ESR version 140.10.0 seems fine.
The original report of the problem:
https://www.deskmodder.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=34293
Expected results:
Characters should be normally masked by dots like on main page view.

Could restrict it to static clones but doesn't seem worth it.
