Change password, Delete account & Sign out.<br><br>Upon clicking on the Change password link, a new page appeared<br>containing two fields, one labelled old password, and one labelled<br>new password, plus a confirm button. I entered my old password<br>in the first field, and then the new password in the second field,<br>followed by clicking on the confirm button. The webpage then came<br>up with an incorrect password message.<br><br>I think the above webpage has a bug in it; normally, on all websites<br>that I am familiar with which allow changing of passwords, they all<br>have three fields, one for the old password, one for the new password<br>and a third for confirming the new password; the above webpage lacks<br>the last field.<br><br>After playing around with things, I went to the Firefox account sign in<br>page <a href="https://accounts.firefox.com/signin">https://accounts.firefox.com/signin</a>, and clicked on the forgot<br>password link. Upon receiving a reset password email from firefox,<br>this took me to a reset password, and which contained the confirm<br>new password field (as one would expect). So, there is a get-around to<br>the problem of changing my password, but clicking on the forgot<br>password link seems a pretty stupid way of doing it…<br><br>Could someone please look into this problem and fix it.<br><br>Incidentally, while I am here, I had a hell of a job contacting firefox<br>to report this problem. I tried clicking on the contact us link on the<br>firefox help page, and found this to be a circumlocution office (for<br>those who know their Dickens): there is no straightforward way of<br>reporting problems. Perhaps you could fix this too…<br><br>Steve Jones, a somewhat bemused firefox user<br></div>
