My Mozilla log-in address is an old one - I have changed my email provider from xxxxxxx@TalkTalk.net to xxxxxxx@outlook.com. Although I can still get into Mozilla I can't change my log-in to make other updates. The advice provided is to make a new extra login and then make that one the primary but it does not work.

The primary email that I have For my account is no longer active.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?

I've lost access to my [edited] @hotmail.com email address that is associated with this account, and I'd like to change my email address now before I'm locked it forever. This is the last computer that I have that is still logged in! It seems that to add another email address I need verification from my first email address, which I can not get. Please help! I don't know if your response to this help question will go to my Firefox account or my email, but if it goes to my lava950 email I won't receive it. If you could please also send it to [edited email from public community support forum], I'd really appreciate that. Thank you!

cannot access primary email. idiot firefox requires primary email in order to make backup primary !!!!!!!

Unbelievably poor design.

I have a backup email address, recover codes, phone.

but firefox requires the inaccessible primary email address to make any changes !!!!!@!@!@!!!!!

I am returning to Firefox and need to reconfigure my account to a different email address as username. From what I can tell, I can change my profile name but the username will still be the old email address. Is my only option to start again with a new account? If so, how can I do that and completely remove the old one?

How do I edit my e-mail address to a new one? I have to change all my accounts due to my current e-mail provider retiring their domain and switching to a new one.

I would like to change my primary email on the account and my profile shows that there is currently no secondary email. I keep inputting a secondary email address that I could then reset to be the primary but Firefox keeps responding that the proposed secondary email is already confirmed by another user.

The proposed secondary email is under my full control and it would not be confirmed as a secondary email for anyone else. While attempting to solve this mystery, I did attempt to sign in under the proposed secondary email. I thought that if I were successful, I could close out that account. Unfortunately, while it appeared to accept the email address and a password saved on my hard drive, I also received an error message that said that I needed to sign in under the primary email.

The purpose for all of this is that I am changing to a new computer, will want to operate it without the old primary email address, and want all of my settings and history from the old computer to transfer over. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi, I found this page in the support forums which kind of answers my question, but it says in order to get my username changed (for the same reason the original poster of that page was requesting it) I need to contact an administrator. However, there's no information on how to do that and the thread is archived.

How do I contact an administrator in order to request this change?

I changed my primary AND secondary emails of my Mozilla account (in Firefox' settings), as the old one was part in many data leaks. When accessing the account settings in Firefox, all is well. BUT coincidentally, after activating Mozilla Monitor, I saw that my OLD email is STILL saved on the settings page of www.mozilla.org/de/newsletter/existing/?fxa=1 (see screenshots).

Also, when trying to login using the DELETED, old email (bum*******.de), Mozilla tells me "must use primary email to login", meaning, they still didnt really remove that one!

Why is it still there and why didnt Mozilla change it?? I want it GONE!

I am 68 years old. I attempted to enroll in the identity monitor program. This requires a birthdate to be entered. The entry means involves scrolling by month to move the years back. There is no years selection. I need to scroll 800 months to enter my birth year... NOPE!

To access https://accounts.firefox.com/ I used my email address xxxx@yahoo.com. I tried to change this email address to my email address xxxx@myonline.be following the prescribed procedure. I then received a message that this email address was already in use. Perhaps I once registered with this email address, but I no longer remember the password. Therefore, I'm unable to create access withe the email address as I'd like. How can I resolve this issue?
