Very strange, I installed latest PRO on 4 sites now, everything is fine. Now on 5th site I can't enter the password for my dropbox account because there is no field, see attachment

I uninstalled and installed PRO but the same problem. Any ideas?

Try using a different browser. There seems to be a conflict with some browser extension or Joomla! plugin, Firefox and Akeeba Backup when used together. It only happens on Firefox and only affects password fields. Using a different browser magically works :s If that succeeds, please tell me which third part plugins and which browser extensions you have installed on your Firefox so that I can try to reproduce that behaviour and provide a workaround.

Hi Nicholas,

thanks for your fast reply. Great support! You were right. It works with Chrome.

Funny thing though, I made the settings on different websites with the same browser on the same computer and the others were working. Nevermind, I will use my computer at home, it works with FF!

I am glad it's working now! This Firefox issue still remains a mystery to me. I have tried that browser across 5 different systems of mine and, still, I can't reproduce it. Maybe a ghost in the machine?
