Why can't I sign on to firefox sync? I enter my acct name and receive a PW error. I change the PW and still receive an error.

I have a new computer and am trying to transfer my bookmarks and my email addresses and settings. I can not get into firefox sync. First of all the info tells me to go to the firefox button at the top of the page and click on sync setup, well that is not very clear, because there's not firefox sync set up anywhere. I finally found it under "Tools." Now everytime I try to sign on, I'm told my password is incorrect. I've changed it three times, and each time I'm told that either the reset link was wrong, or my PW is wrong.

Does this program even work? If not is there a way to bring my info across without having to manually enter it. When I was using Netscape, I could just transfer the file containing the addresses and the bookmarks over. I could even transfer my email folders with the contents. Is that possible with Firefox and Thunderbird?
