passwords display (not masked with *****) and not accepted
on only one web site (so far) when I try to put my user name and password the password is not masked with ***** as it usually is and it is not accepted as valid. I can use Firefox on another computer or on this one as another user or Safari and it works fine. I cleared history and rebooted my computer but same problem, only with Firefox on this computer and this user.

I think Firefox will mask the password only if the web site specifies that the input box is of the password type.
In other words, the username field usually is coded like this:
<input type="text" name="user">
And the password field usually is coded like this:
<input type="password" name="pass">
If that is being overridden, it could be due to an add-on.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click [or Mac equivalent] and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
