I’ve created a Firefox Account. What do I do with it?

First of all, thanks for signing up! We created a page to help you understand and make the most of all the great features Firefox Accounts has to offer:

Access Mozilla Services with a Firefox Account

I’m having trouble verifying my Firefox Account.

This page will help you with verification:

If you are still having trouble, try creating another Firefox Account with a different email address. You can also create a bugzilla.mozilla.org account and file a bug report under the Cloud Services product, Server: Firefox Accounts component (you can use this link).

I’ve received an email from Firefox Accounts. What should I do?

Firefox Accounts sends various emails for security purposes and to help guide your experience.

You might receive the following emails:

Your Firefox Account password has been successfully changed.

This means that the password was recently changed on your account. If you meant to change your password, then no further action is required. If you are not sure why you got this email, then reset your Firefox Account password immediately.

Your Firefox Account password has been successfully reset.

This means your password was recently reset. If this was done by you, then no further action is required. If you are not sure why you got this email, then reset your Firefox Account password immediately.

This email means that we detected suspicious activity with your Firefox Account. You'll need to re-verify your account by clicking the link in the email to be able to access Firefox Accounts.

Please activate your account by confirming this email address.

This email means someone created an account with your email address. If it was you, then please confirm your email.

If you are not sure, then do not click the verification link in the email. If you confirmed the email by accident, then you should reset the Firefox Account password to avoid security issues.
