User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140131092626 Steps to reproduce: When I opened a site, where I saved my username and password, Firefox automatically inserts the username and password. Then I used Firebug to set the password field to text. Actual results: The password in the field became visible. Expected results: I thought Firefox would recognize such "attacks" and change the letters for example to ******** or delete the text in the field. Could be easy for viruses to get stored passwords.
