Firefox sync PW change accepted - Sync will not allow login.
I had to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my desktop. Sync would not work - incorrect password. Used Android device to get change to password for sync. Changed PW from desktop, kept PW in paste buffer. Cannot log in, despite FF accepting new password. Even had to create new account, since asking a question creates a login request... which is denied.
