How would the browser know when/how to display the capslock status? It doesn't know what any given web site is doing wrt to keyboard input. Firefox adds a capslock indicator on the text cursor but not all pages use standard input fields. They might use custom UI elements, or no visual elements at all. Some sites may not even care about capslock (e.g. an arcade game).

`<input type='password'`, just like TFA was talking about?
