My Firefox account and associated passwords were left open on another notebook. I have now changed my Firefox sync login password from a different PC and signed out of other devices. Can a user on the previous PC sign in with a password that is saved in Firefox?

Did you also disconnect that device via the Mozilla Account Settings page ?

They would only be able to reconnect if they know the new password. Note that it is likely that there is still data on that device that was previously downloaded from the Sync server, so if you synced logins then you should be careful and possibly change imported logins.
