Description

I'm seeing this in Firefox 60.0.2 on Linux but am unable to reproduce it in Chrome or Epiphany. I have to enter my password in order to save the changed email address, but when I click on the empty password box it immediately moves the focus back to the email box:

Slightly different if I try to click in the password box without having edited the email:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the email-change flow in Firefox on Ubuntu, using the two interaction cases described in the issue. Trace the email and password form behavior to identify why focus leaves the password field; done means the password can be entered and the changed email can be saved in Firefox without regressing the other browser cases.
