If you can't login to the old account because you would have to click a link in a confirm email then you should let it and go further and create a new account with a working email address. All data on the sync server is encrypted with a key that is derived from the password of the Sync account. Someone would have to recreate your email account and know that password to access your personal data.

You can try to log in to the Firefox account via this website.
