I-Firefox Community Forum

My account has my primary email and it used to have my secondary email connected as well. I now want to create a new account with the secondary email so I can have another profile, so I deleted my secondary email from the manage accounts on my primary email. I ensured that this says it is removed on all devices and it is. But when I try to create a new account with that secondary email, I keep getting the error that I need to sign in my primary email and I am taken back to my profile with my primary email.

How can I fully detach my secondary email so that I can make a new account with it?

Hi! I had a firefox account when I worked for the law firm McCormick Barstow a few years ago. I haven't worked there for a few years. I just set up firefox on my personal computer, but am having problems changing my primary email from my work email ([email address]) to my personal email ([email address]). Can you help? I have no way of receiving any codes going to my old work email address which no longer exists. Thank you, Gina Axsom

Hi, I found this page in the support forums which kind of answers my question, but it says in order to get my username changed (for the same reason the original poster of that page was requesting it) I need to contact an administrator. However, there's no information on how to do that and the thread is archived.

How do I contact an administrator in order to request this change?

cannot access primary email. idiot firefox requires primary email in order to make backup primary !!!!!!!

Unbelievably poor design.

I have a backup email address, recover codes, phone.

but firefox requires the inaccessible primary email address to make any changes !!!!!@!@!@!!!!!

For some weird reason, part of your system has mispelled my given name (and I'm definitely not in doubt about how to spell my own name - I've been doing it for ore than 70 years!)

Also, part of your system thinks I'm still on Windows 10. NOT true! I changed to Windows 11 well before the old system expired.

You have me perplexed.

my account is under [email address] but that is defunct and I can't access it at all. So I can't log in. I can't change to my secondary email which is [email address] Can you help me

I've lost access to my [edited] @hotmail.com email address that is associated with this account, and I'd like to change my email address now before I'm locked it forever. This is the last computer that I have that is still logged in! It seems that to add another email address I need verification from my first email address, which I can not get. Please help! I don't know if your response to this help question will go to my Firefox account or my email, but if it goes to my lava950 email I won't receive it. If you could please also send it to [edited email from public community support forum], I'd really appreciate that. Thank you!

Hello,

A pop-up with a QR Code suggesting to sync Firefox home page on my home computer with Firefox on my phone. I changed to a new email and I don't have access to my old one. There is no link or access on my Firefox browser security page to change it. There is a button to add a secondary email but the access code is sent to my old email address. See photos below.

Thanks so much, Silvio

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.

Hi,

when I wanna update my email preferences, a wrong email is shown up on the page. I have no secondary emails in my account. Could you please look into that and delete every other email than my primary? In the screenshot attached, you can see it clearly.

Thanks.
