After connecting and signing in to Mozilla Connect, it seems impossible to actually log out. There is a log out option in the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work. After "logging out", when going back to the site one is automatically logged back in. This is true even after clearing all mozilla.org cookies, and closing the browser. If a different browser is used, first time access to the Mozilla Connect site requires username/email and password, but after the first access, the alternate browser is also perpetually logged in.

1. What mechanism is being used to identify me as the user after cookies are cleared ?

2. How does this fit in with Mozilla's claims to respecting user privacy ?

3. How do a log out of the Mozilla Connect site ?

Hello AMO team,

I am the developer of two add-ons published from my old account, which I can no longer access: I lost the authenticator app used for two-step authentication, and I have no backup authentication codes or account recovery key for that account. Password reset is therefore impossible (the reset flow requires a TOTP code, and no recovery key exists on the account).

I would like to request an official transfer of ownership of the following two add-ons from the old account to my new account:

1. Admin-panel quick access - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/admin-panel-quick-access/ (add-on id 2650700, guid {dc8766bb-be8a-4bf9-aec8-6bf114d6ed24}) 2. TripleKeep - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/triplekeep/ (add-on id 2654061, guid {ddb290f5-c226-4a22-9dd0-b1731169d15b})

- Old account: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/15677483/ ("Shepel", registered 2020-02-19) - New account: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/17480927/ ("Shepel Pavel", email [redacted] @mail.ru)

Proof of ownership:

- The support email listed on BOTH add-on listings is [redacted] @shepel.net - an email I control and have full access to. I can reply to any verification message sent to that address. - Both listings link to my GitHub repositories, which I still control: https://github.com/shepelpavel/go-to-admin (branch firefox) and https://github.com/shepelpavel/triple-keep (branch firefox_ver). - The manifests in those repositories match the published versions exactly: "Go To Admin" version 1.3 (= published version 1.3 of admin-panel-quick-access) and "TripleKeep" version 1.4 (= published version 1.4 of triplekeep). - Commit history in those repos (author [redacted] @gmail.com, dated 2020) matches the AMO submission dates (2020-07-02 / 2020-07-23 / 2020-08-11).

I have intentionally not re-uploaded these add-ons under the new account to avoid GUID conflicts - I am requesting an official ownership transfer instead.

Please let me know if you need any additional verification. Thank you!

Best regards, Pavel Shepel [redacted] @shepel.net

I have a new Mozilla (FireFox) account and keep getting emails that say I need to confirm it. They include a button to do so but I'm not clicking it unless I get better information from you. Please help. The email swears my account will be deleted if I don't confirm it. What do I do?
