Problem solved from kuna236 on Reddit discussion...(see comments)
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cbnesc/firefox_68_password_field_blinks/
FYI. For just testing, I copied my new firefox.desktop from
/usr/local/share/applications to my local Desktop folder, and gave it a
new name. Did not do the update-desktop-database yet. (Original
firefox.desktop file in /usr/share/applications.) All good!
--- details from kuna236---
For anyone else out there trying to modify their |.desktop| file, I
copied my |/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop| to
|/usr/local/share/applications/| and prepended |env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim|
to the |Exec=| lines.
|Exec=env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox %u |
Then ran |sudo update-desktop-database|.
I struggled for a little while because I forgot to include |env| in my
|Exec|, and Firefox stopped showing up in my applications menu. Figured
I'd post it here in case anyone else was making the same mistake.

I just applied a bunch of updates to my CentOS 7 system yesterday,
one of which was a Firefox update to 68.0.1esr.
Now when I bring up sites I would log in to -- my bank, credit cards,
etc., the Password box is wonky and shakes and doesn't display
successive dots for characters I type, nor does it accept what I
type. My work around currently is to type the password first, then my
userid but ???!!!!! Using either a <tab> to get to the Password box
or just a click in the Password box causes the same results.
Previous Firefox version which worked fine
--firefox-60.8.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64
HELP!
