Seems I have found the issue since a email turned up in a account I was not expecting it.

</p>You authenticate to the SUMO support website via the Firefox Account API and once this is done then 2019-07-19T17:45:59-07:00cor-elhttps://support.mozilla.org/kn/questions/1265100#answer-1238953<p>You authenticate to the SUMO support website via the Firefox Account API and once this is done then a session_id cookie is created that is used for further requests.
This is different than logging in directly to the Firefox Account website.
Logging in directly to the Firefox Account website is merely meant to check whether the account is working.

via Firefox Account while I was still logged in to Settings.
