On Android, there is a setting to "show password briefly as you type". You can look for this setting and turn it off.

That setting is turned off but it still shows password. Again, no problem with chrome based browser that I tried

This problem still exists. Is this a Firefox android issue?

i have the same issue. After some research i found out that it happens if i use accessibility (overlap popup) to fill in the username/password. If i use the autofill on my the keyboard, than there is no issue. Because it is a security issue, I'm surprised that nobody seems to care about it.
