Works for me. Even if I enter the wrong password I get: 
Invalid ID or password.
Please try again.

Have you tried it with a new profile?
New profile: close Firefox, restart your computer, click on your Windows Start button and type %appdata% in your Run box. Rename the folder Mozilla to _Mozilla and start Firefox again.
