PS How will I know you've replied?!! (Sorry - all this is new to me - my other mail account is myname@outlook.com so I've assumed I'll have a similar Firefox address.)

Hi TaffyOutlane, Mozilla, the maker of Firefox, doesn't provide email accounts. If you want to create a Firefox Account, you would link it to one of your existing email accounts.

Hello @jscher2000. I'm really struggling with the concept that I can't set up an email address "myname@firefox" - sorry, it must be my age!!

So how exactly would I contact the Microsoft Community or indeed any of the 90+ forums & websites that I visit, please? (I don't log into many of them frequently of course.)

Hello TaffyOutlane,

All you need is the email address/account you used when you created this account - probably just the regular email address you always use.

You'll know (or should know) when somebody posted a reply here when you get an email notification (in your email inbox ).

In this case you can use this link to post a question.

If you don't have an account there yet, you can create one, using your regular email account (or, in case you have more than one email account, one of the others).
