This sounds more like a site issue then Firefox issue? Did you contact their site support about the login issue? What site is this?

Is the password correct if you use copy/past to copy it is another editor?

Some websites use JavaScript to modify the password field before submitting the form. You can inspect and edit the password in the Password Manager (about:logins page). You can create a Login block exception for this origin (protocol and hostname) to prevent Firefox modifying/updating the stored password.

Thanks co rel. please give me simple steps to perform so that firefox saves the password in english. Why should firefox first of all, encrypt my password for the site I have not enabled any encryption. I just save the password in english as any other sites would prompt byfirefox.

Firefox does encrypt the passwords stored in logins.json in the Firefox profile folder and shows bullets but should not encrypt a password as ASCII.

Is this only happening for this specific website ?

Did you try to edit the login on the about:logins page and save the correct password like I posted above ?
