I'm going around in circles! I have a new second laptop onto which I have just installed Firefox and I would like to sync with Firefox on my original laptop, but when I use the email & password for my Firefox account, it says wrong password, so I go back to my original and confirm that he email & password for my Firefox account is indeed correct. I thus click forgot & rest password on my new laptop and successfully register it as my Firefox account. However, when I go back to my original laptop, I find I have been looged out, and when I try to sign in, it says wrong password! I have gone back & forth resetting the password, and every time it's the same. can you help please?

Can you login to the Firefox account via this web page?

Only one machine at a time. For example, I had to sign in on this laptop in order to post a reply and it claimed my password was incorrect, so i had to reset with the very same password it told me was incoorect and although I have now signed in and am replying, my other laptop immediately disconected from my Firefox account and when I tried to sign in, it tells me that the password I had used just minutes before is now incorrect. So, when I want to sign in on that laptop again, I'll have to reset (with the very same password) there and it will immediately disconnect this laptop from my Firefox account, and I will have to reset this one! No problem resetting each laptop with exactly the same password, but only one machine at a time. Never the twain shall meet!
