Stored Password Visible instead of Asterisks

Question

On my website when a single account/password is stored by FireFox, each time the page loads the password is displayed as plain text not asterisks.
Is this a feature of the browser or are changes need in the elements of the form on the webpage?
If 2 or more passwords are stored by Firefox the form fields are not populated by default.

Answer 1

The DOMi shows that there are two input elements for the password field and if you set focus to the password field then the two get swapped via JavaScript code (one gets display:inline and the other display:none). Also a class ="focus" gets added to the real #password field.<br />
Firefox will likely store data entered in the fake input field(s) as saved form data, but I don't think that anything should get entered in the fake fields, but I don't know how the Profile Manager code would respond to this swapping.
There is this code in the main.js file

if((inputs[i].type == "text" || inputs[i].type == "password") && inputs[i].className.indexOf(o.filterClass)) {
inputs[i].valueHtml = inputs[i].value;
inputs[i].onfocus = function () {
if(this.valueHtml == this.value) this.value = "";
if(this.fake) {
inputsSwap(this, this.previousSibling);
this.previousSibling.focus();
if(o.addClassFocus && !this.fake) {
this.className += " " + o.addClassFocus;
this.parentNode.className += " parent-" + o.addClassFocus;
inputs[i].onblur = function () {
if(this.value == "") {
this.value = this.valueHtml;
if(o.passwordFieldText && this.type == "password") inputsSwap(this, this.nextSibling);
if(o.addClassFocus) {
this.className = this.className.replace(o.addClassFocus, "");
this.parentNode.className = this.parentNode.className.replace("parent-"+o.addClassFocus, "");
if(o.passwordFieldText && inputs[i].type == "password") {
var fakeInput = document.createElement("input");
fakeInput.type = "text";
fakeInput.value = inputs[i].value;
fakeInput.className = inputs[i].className;
fakeInput.fake = true;
inputs[i].parentNode.insertBefore(fakeInput, inputs[i].nextSibling);
inputsSwap(inputs[i], null);
