Password change

Hello, I got fired yesterday and the access to my work computer was taken away immediately. I would like to change the pw of my firefox sync account but it requests a confirmation on my work email address. Is there anyway around this? Is there a way for you to dissable the account or is there a way to clear the pw history? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Philippe

If you can't get access to work, it would be best to change the password/e-mail you are using.

This would remove all data from the servers, but not the profiles from the other members of the sync.

If you have lost access to the Primary (or only) email account used for your Firefox Account there is nothing you can do except for deleting that account.

Load this online page and then Sign in to your Firefox Account. https://accounts.firefox.com/settings

Then at the bottom of the page use the Delete account button.

That will clear all your data saved on the Sync server and it will erase your Firefox Account; it will not affect any of your data in any Firefox installation. Which means your former employer will still have access you your former Firefox installation. So it's a good idea to change all your passwords ASAP.
