Please provide more details about the problem. What website are you trying to log into?
Although I can't say for certain, I suspect that the problem is with the website you are trying to log into rather than Firefox. If so, you'll need to contact the site owners to resolve this problem.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

Go to the sign-in page, and use the Forgot My Password / User Name
