I have downloaded the update to Firefox and when I go to sign in it won't accept my id and password. Internet Explorer will and I don't want to use IE anymore

You must have forgot your info for firefox. Click "Forgot Password".

I already tried that before I contacted you. My id and password are the same for whichever browser I use. So why isn't it working for Firefox.

Try the 'reset password' link. If you still need help,

Would you mind telling me where I would "reset password?" Is that button on your home page? I already tried the forum and had no success in getting an answer to my problem.

Most login pages have a 'Forgot Password' link.

Just to be clear, sign in where? as in support.mozilla.org or some other website?

Note you should not put your actual account password in subject as people may misread this as.
