I have updated my password on Gmail. Firefox will no longer sync with Gmail telling me that my password is invalid. I cannot get Firefox to accept a valid Gmail password.

You need to enter the Firefox Sync password and not the Gmail password in the password field you posted above. If you haven't changed the Firefox Sync password then it is still the same or you need to check the Gmail account to see if it has a message with a new password. The new Gmail password in case you change that password has no effect on how you log in to Firefox Sync.
