Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090928 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.4.1.21 RX-51 N900
Many mobile devices (such as the N900) have keyboards where each key can generate many symbols based on the modifier key being pressed. 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.
OS: All → Linux (embedded)
Hardware: All → ARM
