I cannot see anything when I try to type my password into Gmail.

  • I know how to "hide" my password with asterisks and "unhide" it - that's not the problem
  • When I type anywhere else, any other website, anything else on my computer, I can see the typing
  • Only the password box on the Gmail website will not let me see what I am typing
  • I can go into "Inspect" mode and see at the bottom of the screen when I type in my password but the characters I'm typing will not show up in the Gmail password box
  • I tried Google first for help and they said that it sounded like a possible Mozilla problem to them

I just want to know if I can fix it? Should I be concerned? Could I have some type of virus or something? Is it just a setting? Please help. Thanks!

Does anything gets selected if you use "Select All" (Ctrl+A) on the password field ?

Did you check for text color issues with text and background having the same color or the text color being transparent ?
