Once logged out however I was still unable to log back in as the administrator or the new user while using Firefox 51.0.1 on debian. When I tried using the Epiphany web browser I was able to log in.
I have this exact same problem with not being able to login or create a user on Firefox.
I have been racking my brain for a couple hours of this and rebuilt phpbb3 at least 5 times now with different tests to see where it goes wrong.
Upon seeing the above comment I decided to test admin logins with other browsers than Firefox . . .
Firefox =
failure
Chrome =
successful
Vivaldi =
successful
Epiphany =
successful
Then I decided to test creating a new account with other browsers . . .
Firefox =
failure (claims captcha is wrong but certainly is correct)
Chrome =
successful (captcha worked fine)
Vivaldi =
successful (captcha worked fine)
Epiphany =
successful (captcha worked fine)
Conclusion:
something is
broken with
phpbb 3.2 and
Firefox 51.0.1
Note: I use KDE Neon as my operating system. (KDE Neon is based on Ubuntu 16.04 which is based on Debian)

Edit: so I did some more testing and it turns out that it has something to do with the session being created. I closed Firefox and reopened it for more testing. After closing and reopening the login worked fine. However, if I were to logout and try to log back in, failure. If I repeat the closing and reopening of Firefox then the login works again.
So I think there is some issue with Firefox 51.0.1 plus phpBB's session and/or cookies.
