I accidently entered my age as '0' and now it won't let me create an account. How can I change this?

I opened up Firefox today and it suggested that I create an account. I tried to do this, but forgot to fill in the age field, so it automatically set my age as 0. I am 39, so old enough to have an account. But, if I try to go back to the create account page, it automatically redirects to a page that says "Cannot create account You must meet certain age requirements to create a Firefox Account. " And I can't get back to the actual page.

Is there a way to reset this?

Thanks, Abigale

Did you try to close and restart Firefox?

You can also try to clear the cookies for the Firefox Account website (accounts.firefox.com).

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Data

"Clear the Cache":

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
    Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> Cached Web Content: Clear
