The primary email that I have For my account is no longer active. I can't use that to sign in. Then email is [edited] @reagan.com. I do have a secondary email. it is [edited] @protonmail.com. Your system wants to demand that I use that primary email address. I can't do that. Can you help me?

Hello Mozilla Support Team, I am writing because my primary email address associated with my Mozilla/Firefox account has been compromised and I no longer have any access to it. Unfortunately, this prevents me from performing basic account management tasks. Specifically: • I would like to add and verify a new email address (*censored@outlook.com) as a secondary email so I can later promote it to primary. • However, when trying to add any secondary email, Mozilla sends a verification code/link to the current primary email address — which I cannot receive anymore. • As a result, I am completely locked out of updating or securing my account, even though I can still log in with my password (and possibly 2FA if set up). My new desired primary email is: *censored@outlook.com I have read the official documentation (e.g., https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-primary-email-address-firefox-accounts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information), which states that changing the primary email without prior secondary email setup is not possible for security reasons when the old primary is inaccessible. Questions: 1. Is there any exception, manual verification process, or alternative recovery method available in cases of compromised/lost primary email access? (For example, through identity verification, account recovery key if I have one, or support-assisted change?) 2. If no recovery is possible, can you please confirm that creating a brand-new Mozilla account with *censored@outlook.com is the only remaining option, and advise on how to best migrate my synced data (bookmarks, passwords, history, etc.) if still accessible on my devices? I understand the security implications and that Mozilla prioritizes protection against unauthorized changes — I just want to regain full control and secure my data properly. Thank you very much for your help and any guidance you can provide. Best regards, Francesco Intini

Hello Firefox Support Team,

I would like to ask for assistance regarding my Firefox Account.

My Firefox Account is currently associated with the email address:

Old email: [edited] @mail.ru

Unfortunately, this email account has been permanently deleted, and I no longer have any possibility to recover or access it.

I would like to know if it is possible to transfer my Firefox Account, including all associated data, synchronization information, and authentication methods, to a new email address:

New email: [edited from community support forum] @gmail.com

I am currently signed in to the Firefox Account on my mobile devices and can provide information about them if necessary.

Kind regards,

Aleksey Bondarenko

The email address that was used when my Mozilla account was first set up no longer exists, I'm trying to change it but the site keeps sending the confirmation codes to the existing non-existent email address which I no longer have access to. How do I change the email address without losing any data?

The email address on my Mozilla account no longer exists. I am unable to change any data nor delete the account, since I cannot login to the old email address. Contact email: [edited from community support forum] @icloud.com

I set up my Mozilla account, with its pirmary and secondary emails, before deleting my primary email To switch my secondary email to my primary email, I'd need to receive a code on my primary email, which has been deleted.

My email system was [email-removed]@indiana.edu and they changed it to [email-removed]@iu.edu. I can no longer receive email at the @indiana.edu account and I would like to migrate the bookmarks and other data like credit card info to my new Mozilla at [email-removed]@iu.edu. How can I do that when I cannot access the code being emailed to [email-removed]@indiana.edu?

- moderator's note: e:mail removed to protect user's privacy

Hello,

I have a problem verifying a secondary email address for my Mozilla Account.

Whenever I click "Send verification code", the website confirms that the code has been sent, but I never receive any email.

I have already ruled out the usual causes:

The mailbox is working correctly. I receive emails from other senders without any problems. I checked the Inbox, Spam and Junk folders. I waited for more than 30 minutes and tried multiple times. I tested with different browsers and private browsing mode.

Most importantly, I tested two completely different email providers:

[email removed to protect user's privacy] (STRATO) [email removed to protect user's privacy] (Telekom Germany)

The verification email is not delivered to either address.

Hi there, I no longer have access to my primary email and I do not have a secondary one. How can I change it and add the secondary one? Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
