I have a problem with every login page that I go to in Firefox. On each on the input:textfieldlogin box shows up as a very small box, only 1-2 millimeters square. I can input text; however, I cannot see anything that I type. However, if I run as Administrator, all works normally, and these boxes appear as they do in other browsers. I can set the program to always run as Administrator; however, with each new Firefox update, this setting is kicked off, and so we are back to the same problem. I need a permanent solution, if one is available.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

You may also have a problem with fonts.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and disable website fonts as a test.

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

hello, maybe an addon is interfering - please try launching firefox in safemode once and see if the issue is occurring there too...

I tried the safe mode thing and no luck. I tried to reset to original settings as well, and still no luck. I will try to the font thing next and see how that goes.

I changed the font and this seems to have solved the problem. I shall repost if it reappears. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Can you tell us which font is causing that problem?

It did not seem to matter which font was chosen. As soon as I unchecked the box and hit ok, the page righted itself. If I checked the box again, the page went screwy again. I tried a couple of different fonts, and they all worked when the box was unchecked. As soon as I checked the box again, the page messed up.
