STR:
1. Open an site which requires an authentication dialog using a clean profile.
2. Start typing in the dialog
3. Observe the screenshot here: http://www.screencast.com/users/mozillamarcia/folders/Default/media/6d8aea73-eace-4d6b-b3a4-a442739248fb

Will check to see if this is Mac only or happening on other platforms.

I did check to see if turning off hardware acceleration mattered - and the bug still shows even if the pref is unchecked.

I couldn't reproduce this issue following your STR from Comment 0 for FF17 and Latest Nightly (11/12/2012) but for Mac OS 10.8 x32.

In my oppinion this bug should be resolved WFM as long as there are lots of new features implemented since FF 4b8. If you think there should be make more investigations about this issue please set back status.
