Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110202 Firefox/4.0b11pre Seemingly the simple step to restore my sync account is proving to be a pain as when I attempt to change my sync key, sync will display 'undefined' and on click of generate, and click of change sync key, I get "There was an error while changing your Sync key!" Perhaps two issues, but both are preventing me from moving on from this step in the wizard. See attached screenshot

This WFM, with the Mac minefield nightly of 20110202.

I can reproduce this. This is because we don't actually set the account name and password before we go to the Change Sync Key dialog (via the "I have lost my other device" link).

Ah, ok, I see that now. So we need to disable that link 'til you enter account name and password? If you forget everything, well, you're done with account.

Oh even if you entered your email and password, changing the sync key via that link doesn't work. I think the only way out in this case is to delete-account and start over. Not the best work-around. Definitely verify account in there somewhere.

Yep, as I said in comment 3, we don't actually take the values from the form fields and store them in Sync's credentials... Working on a fix...

Ensure all the right bits are set and checked when resetting the Sync Key from the now all-in-one manual sign in page. This makes it work again, but it's not 100% awesome. The user still has to click on "Generate" in the "Change Sync Key" dialog. Part 2 is fixing that.

Don't make the user click on "Generate" before the 'Change Sync Key' dialog can be dismissed.
