Firefox Marketplace is now using Firefox Accounts to offer a more integrated experience across all Mozilla services and products. Having a Firefox Account lets you access your existing Marketplace apps and feedback seamlessly on multiple devices.

  1. Click Sign in now to transfer your account (or Transfer your account now if you've already signed in to Persona).
  2. Click Continue to complete the upgrade process.
  3. Fill in the required email and password fields and click Next.
  4. Click on the verification link sent to your email address to confirm your account.
