Please quote the exact error message you see, in full, A screen shot would suffice.

Who is your email provider(s)?

Is this an IMAP or POP3 account?

Some email providers require you to obtain an "app password", which can usually be created on their web mail page.

If by "Mozilla" password you mean the one you use to log into this site, it would not be that one.
