Also, my other Firefox didn't prompt me to enter a new password, or tell me there were any sync errors after a couple of hours. What is the timeframe in which it should have notified me and asked me to login again?<br>

I forget the details of the threshold for prompting with a notification vs. passively showing the "please sign in again" state in the menu panel and preferences UI. It's possible there are bugs here - I would encourage you to file this if you're still not seeing what you'd expect!<br>
