why does firefox repeatedly send message stating reset link has been sent to email when it never is sent
I'm trying to log in to my account. Firefox says my password is invalid. Firefox also says it has sent a reset link to my email. That reset link never arrives although I repeatedly ask to sent the link, and Firefox repeatedly indicates that link has been successfully sent.

It appears that I've just lost more than 200 bookmarks because of this problem. I'm ready to kiss Firefox goodbye, although I don't think it will matter to FF.
