Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I am contacting you regarding my Firefox account, which is currently registered with my ProtonMail email address that I no longer have access to.

Unfortunately, my ProtonMail account has been permanently disabled, and I am unable to receive any verification emails.

I would like to request your assistance in updating my account email address to a new one.

I can confirm that I am the rightful owner of the account and I am willing to provide any information necessary to verify my identity, such as:

Previous account details Login activity Devices used Any additional verification you may require

Additionally, I am currently located in Iran, where due to recent internet restrictions and instability, I have had to rely on VPN services, which may have contributed to unusual activity patterns.

I would really appreciate any help or alternative verification process you can provide in this situation.

New email address: intelligentquantum@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards, Hamed

I cannot change to another (new) email address, because the old mail address is not accessible anymore, but the new one collides with some other ... What can I do?

my new email address is njsinc!outlook.com which I would like to use in place of the closed nsinc1@verizon.net which I am unable to get any code of code to change my email to the current one.

Hey there. My old primary email address has been deleted, and I'm unable to check my inbox. Is there any way to change my primary address other than adding a secondary one? I can't access the verification code sent to my deleted address to complete the swap. Thank you in advance.

I have backup authentication codes if that helps. Codes are getting sent to my hacked email which i dont have access to.

Hello,

Can you please help with the following scenario.

Both, a Firefox sync master account and Firefox Relay extension are active when running the browser.

So, is it possible to change the master email addresses of both features (+ secondary email) ? I would like to use a new email address for authenticating in both features of Mozilla, but do not want to set up new accounts.

How can I do that in Firefox Sync and Relay?

Thanks for your support.

Regards jd

I would like to make a new account with an email account I control. Currently, the secondary email address can receive 2FA codes and such, but is there some way to transfer all of the history I have with the account to a new one? I cannot make the secondary email address the new one because my university email is now unable to receive emails such as 2FA codes.

I can't access one of my Gmail accounts. I have tried everything I can think of for the past 2 weeks. All because I have lost my device and also had to change my phone number and email addresses. I noticed today that the recovery email is a Firefox Relay emails. Is it possible to redirected to my new email address?

I don't have access to the primary email to do anything. I do have the secondary email entered but it's asking for a code from the primary email to change it, like I mentioned we don't have access to. Is there any help for this. Hate to lose what we have.

Hello Mozilla Support Team, I am writing because my primary email address associated with my Mozilla/Firefox account has been compromised and I no longer have any access to it. Unfortunately, this prevents me from performing basic account management tasks. Specifically: • I would like to add and verify a new email address (*censored@outlook.com) as a secondary email so I can later promote it to primary. • However, when trying to add any secondary email, Mozilla sends a verification code/link to the current primary email address — which I cannot receive anymore. • As a result, I am completely locked out of updating or securing my account, even though I can still log in with my password (and possibly 2FA if set up). My new desired primary email is: *censored@outlook.com I have read the official documentation (e.g., https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-primary-email-address-firefox-accounts and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information), which states that changing the primary email without prior secondary email setup is not possible for security reasons when the old primary is inaccessible. Questions: 1. Is there any exception, manual verification process, or alternative recovery method available in cases of compromised/lost primary email access? (For example, through identity verification, account recovery key if I have one, or support-assisted change?) 2. If no recovery is possible, can you please confirm that creating a brand-new Mozilla account with *censored@outlook.com is the only remaining option, and advise on how to best migrate my synced data (bookmarks, passwords, history, etc.) if still accessible on my devices? I understand the security implications and that Mozilla prioritizes protection against unauthorized changes — I just want to regain full control and secure my data properly. Thank you very much for your help and any guidance you can provide. Best regards, Francesco Intini
