I was given a number as a recovery number and I’m trying to reestablish my email that is Thunderbird and also Mozilla and Firefox and I get all confused with all of that anyway it gave me a code number and every time it asks me for the code number for my recovery number It doesn’t allow me to put it in where it says confirm a button that says confirm every time I go to click it. It’s not on so I’m utterly confused and I am don’t know where to get help. The bottom line is I need to get my account fixed so I can get my email back again. I lost it a couple years ago and I’ve been struggling ever since.
