Passwords fields of Firefox extensions can't be focused

[Szabolcs Andrasi]

My system is Ubuntu 18.04 x64 which comes with Firefox 60.0.1. I have installed two extensions (NordVPN and LastPass) into it but I can't use either of them because I can't sign in to my account: as soon as I try to click the password field or try to focus it by pressing the TAB button, the extension window closes so it's impossible to enter the password.

What's expected to happen: I can enter my username and my password and I can sign in to these services through the Firefox extensions.

What's happening instead: the extension window closes when the password field is about to get focused.

The reason I report this bug here and not to the creators of the extensions or to Mozilla is because

- the extensions are from two different companies and it's unlikely that they both made the same mistake
- the same extensions for Chrome work flawlessly (they also work in Firefox for Windows)
- I tried the extensions with earlier versions of Firefox (all the way down to 52.8.0-esr) and I couldn't get them to work in either and it's unlikely that not a single version of Firefox in the past ~1.5 years has supported these extensions
- previously I had Ubuntu 16.04 installed in which these extensions have worked without problem.

Therefore to me it appears that the problem is not with Firefox or with its extensions but something with Ubuntu 18.04. I have no idea, however, what package it might be so I report it as a generic error.
