Hi! Here's what Firefox Add-ons website prints when I go to 'My Profile | Account Settings' to change my account's email : 

   Firefox Accounts users cannot currently change their email address.

My previous email will stop functioning before long and I wish I wouldn't loose the load of history I've put in Mozilla add-ons. How can I do? Come'on Mozilla, we shouldn't have to search for how to change a contact email, less to ask for how to do so! Thank you for sharing any lights you may have.

PS I've never been easy with this mix between Firefox Account (Sync) and Add-ons ID. It's been quite confusing in the first place.

FredMcD you were right in that I found a correct answer on discourse [1]

So "all" I had to do to recover my Firefox Add-ons account was to create a new Browser profile, set-up a "new" Firefox Sync (i.e. FF Account) profil with my former email-I-don't-use-anymore-but-was-used-on-Firefox-Account-to-login-to-FF-Addons, note the password in Preferences»Security»Logins, and login to Firefox Add-ons web site with this ID.

You should post your question here; https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

Mozilla.org has several separate websites.

...and nearly as much login systems since persona went off the hill, yeah. I'll go ask about my Firefox Account login to FF Add-ons in between add-ons development posts then. Crossing fingers and will update in here.
