Since these are mobile devices however often the keys are quite small and it's easy to press the wrong button. Password entry on many mobile platforms then is handled a bit differently than on a desktop - the character you enter is momentarily displayed before being replaced with an asterisk. This greatly assists accurate password entry and should be implemented in Fennec. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the browser on the N900 2. Go to a site where you need to login, such as https://www.livejournal.com/login.bml 3. Enter your username. 4. Enter your password. Unlike other applications on the N900 (such as Settings -> VoIP and IM accounts -> New account setup) the characters are not momentarily displayed as you type them. Actual Results: Characters are not momentarily displayed as you type them. Expected Results: Characters are momentarily displayed then replaced with an asterisk to aid accurate entry.
