Thanks for confirming that going correctly to the accounts.firefox.com site worked.

Is this about the Firefox Sync account?

In case of issues try to log in to the Firefox account via this website.

Thanks. Your post helped in getting me into my own account. And I seem to be in the Support Forum now without logins or passwords.

My basic problem is that since the latest version (61.01) I can't login with an email address into my account at the New York Times. The login screen remains showing the circle turning round. The way-around appeared to be to login with Google, what I try to prevend; there's no need to show them what I read at the NYT. Anybody has same problem?

Thanks, After putting all the Permissions on 'Allow' the login at the NYT ran without trouble.
