Summary12453: Unable to update passwords using Firefox browser
Description

When logged in as admin using the latest version of FIrefox, I am unable to update my password through my profile. I am unable to update any password in the user management section.

The password fields are visible, but disabled and not able to be changed.

There is no problem when using Internet Explorer, but this is not always an acceptable solution.

Steps To Reproduce

Using Firefox 53.0.3 (32 bit), log in as admin.
Go to My Account and attempt to type into the Password or Report Password fields.
--or--
Go to Manage Survey Administrators, click on the edit button for any administratyor and attempt to type into the Password field.

TagsNo tags attached.

I cannot reproduce that. Do you still have the problem using the latest version?

Yes, the problem persists with the newest version.
But I have found another web page -- an old one, in the admin site for my RAID array -- that also has a problem.
When I try to create a password like !999raid!, the RAID system responds that "a password may not begin with a hyphen ('-')".
So, it may be a subtle problem with the FireFox implementation of a password type text field.
That this does not happen with many other other sites when I use a leading exclamation('!') is puzzling.

But you wrote that the fields are disabled. They are not disabled for me.
Now you are saying that the letters in your password may be a problem - but if you cannot enter it in the first place that wouldn't matter, would it?
Can you attach a small video demonstrating the issue?
