I just got a replacement for my old laptop and I have installed Firefox, I'm trying to log into my sync account but it says that I have an invalid authorization code whenever I try to use the code I get in my email. I've trying both copy/pasting it and typing it out manually and I've resent the email several times and tried those codes, but no matter what it says that the code is invalid.

Update: I'm trying again two hours later and it now says that my "request was blocked for security reasons" when I try to use the code but I am not receiving any confirmation emails about it unless I press the resend button.
