Firefox 52-55 shows a "slashed lock" on the login form on pages that use an insecure HTTP connection instead of a secure HTTPS connection. This is to remind you that your login is not protected from interception because there is no encryption on HTTP connections, your username and password are sent out over the network as plain text. Per the Insecure connection password warning in Firefox article, it looks like this:
That warning panel should appear below the user name and/or password field, but depending on the site's styling, it might block the field. In that case, you can clear it by tapping the Esc key.
Sometimes if I am on a page with an insecure login form and I enter asdf in both the username and password, the site switches me to a secure error page where I can enter my real login.
If you do not want to see the warning on your HTTP logins, you can remove it permanently as follows:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste insec and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false
(4) Assume this login could be easily stolen and avoid re-using it on important sites
