Firefox accounts will be renamed Mozilla accounts on November 1, 2023. This means that all references to Firefox accounts will be changed to Mozilla accounts. The goal of these guidelines is to ensure we're talking about Mozilla accounts consistently across all of our products. For example, always using "sign in to your account" and using the same words to mean the same thing across different touch points.

The most important things to know for users are:

• Users will still use the same credentials to sign in to their account.
• There are no other changes to the products they use.
• Users will be alerted to the upcoming change with a banner on the sign-in screen (and on the account settings page), with a Learn more link directing to a related SUMO article.

Style

Using Mozilla

When referring to a customer’s account, always use "Mozilla" instead of "Firefox".

Do

• Sign in to your Mozilla account
• Sign in with Mozilla

Don't

• Sign in to your Firefox account
• Log in with Firefox

Capitalization

The “a” in accounts is always lowercase except in navigation items where it’s included with other navigation items that are using headline casing. In that case, you may use “Mozilla Account” or “Your Account” to be consistent with the other navigation items.

Do

• Sign in to your Mozilla account

Don't

• Sign in to your Mozilla Account

Your vs. my

Use you and your to talk to people about their account - as in “your account”, not “my account.” We aim to be conversational and to speak to customers, not as them.

Do

• Sign in to your account to cancel your subscription.

Don't

• Sign in to my account to cancel your subscription.

Singular vs plural

Account is almost always singular. On rare occasions, you may use “Mozilla accounts” when you are referring to changes to all Mozilla accounts (not just the customer you are speaking to).

Do

• Sign in to your account.
• We’ve renamed Firefox accounts to Mozilla accounts. You’ll still sign in with the same username and password.

Don't
