Password in Firefox is not encrypted on my screen.
Hello, for the last week or two whenever I type a password to get into my bank, I see the password on my screen, instead of *********. Other browsers do not display password, just dots. Could it be some kind of virus within Firefox? How can I set the password back to be encrypted, ie. displayed as bunch of dots? Thanks.

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
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
