That isn't a firefox email account or issue to deal with. You will have to contact their support line to fix your email account issues.

I tried to find a solution by reference, but it is not there. The message is written "If this is a valid email address, let us know and we will help unlock your account.", but I don't understand how to let them know. I think this problem can not be solved without technical support.
