dup of bug 621337.

Even when you can type "password more than 16 characters" at MS's Web Interface, MS's appliction uses "16 byres or 16 character" only as password.
i.e. There is no "password more than 16 characters" in Hot Mail etc.

Here is bugzilla.mozilla.org for developers to fix actual Tb's bug(flaw in code of Tb).
Here is never support forum.
Please always open bug at B.M.O with sufficient data of "evidence of actual Tb's bug".

Or, dup of bug 663022. Which bug do you want duping? Prefer WONTFIX? Or prefer INVALID?
