User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121026113527

Steps to reproduce:

I had reset my sync password and changed recovery keys, and was updating synced Firefox / Seamonkey browsers.  Firefox informed me that I needed to update my sync password, and I typed that into the "Update Password" dialog and pressed enter.


Actual results:

Firefox repeated the "Update Password" after successful entry of the new password.  The Firefox preferences dialog now showed "Wrong Recovery Key".  Re-typing in the password in the "Update Password" dialog brought back a result of "Password can't match current password".  Had to cancel out of "Update Password" to update the recovery key.


Expected results:

Firefox should have accepted the new sync password and popped up the dialog for updating the recovery key.
