Sometimes disappears the login and password menu on the sites. If uMatrix disable this does not happen. On previous versions of the firefox this was not.

Closing and marking as invalid, as per CONTRIBUTING.

FYI: I suspect the issue is to similar to this (exact same symptoms): Resource URI Leak add-on setting causes Firefox 53 login/password problems ...

"No Resource URI Leak" FF add-on, options->"Block Web-exposed subset of chrome:// URIs" (and it has a warning) and is disabled by default.

So something to do with chrome:// blocking in the OP's ruleset (this does not happen with uMatrix defaults)

Note: Edited to clarify

To be clear, uMatrix/uBO themselves do not expose chrome:/resource: URIs to web pages -- so they should not be affected by whether these URIs are blocked or not.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply uMatrix or uBo were leaking resources, or that they were at fault. My message was meant for OP as a possible solution/clue - the link describes the exact same symptoms and it was traced back to "a subset of chrome://URIs", whatever that may actually be.

Sure, it's just me wanting to be sure there is no misunderstanding for whoever reads this here -- since according to OP, disabling uMatrix fixed his issue (no case was made that uMatrix is doing something wrong, so the assumption is that the issue is with his ruleset).

No worries - edited my first post to clarify in case someone doesn't read on :)
