Could of been the site didn't like the cookie stored in your cache.
Could also be due to the upgrade that took place also.
Usually if i have issues, i do the reset password option, get the email click the link and assign a fresh password or keep the old one.
But i usually out of habit change my online passwords weekly, minimum 10 char etc etc.
Good to have you back also Johnno, was starting to get a little worried

Hi there mate, and thanks for the kind words
This was happening before the site upgrade, and I ran CCleaner and cleared private data in FF.
I suspect that this instance of FF had become corrupted in some way, as it had become a real memory hog as well (much more than usual).
I ran Memtest and checked the HDD with no problems reported, so I am reasonably happy now.
I only posted this because I have never seen anything not accept the full length password that it was set up with............. corrupted password not working, yes, but not actually truncating the input. It was quite a while before I noticed what was happening, so I thought that I would mention it in case anyone else comes across a similar problem with password acceptance.
