OT it annoys me that Ubuntu brands their symbol in Konqueror's busy icon,
etc...

[gentoo-user] Firefox: password field

[Norberto Bensa]

Hello Everyone,

here's a cosmetic one.

I use Firefox (3b5) on KDE (3.5.9) Password fields appear -in both  
versions- as asterisks "*"


Using Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) I've noticed Firefox uses circles in  
password fields. Is that an Ubuntu patch or some obscure configuration  
option?


Thanks in advance,
Norberto
