How Do You Change the Email Address of Your Firefox Account?
If you already know your way around Firefox, the simple answer is to add a secondary email address, to your account, then switch it with your current primary one. This will make the newly added secondary address your primary one and the old primary one your secondary address. If you have no idea how to do this follow the steps below.
First, open Firefox and make sure you are signed into your account. Next, click the Settings dots in the top right-hand corner and select Options.
On the new page that appears click Firefox Account on the left-hand side, then click Manage Account and Firefox will take you to your accounts page. (if you haven't signed in prior to this step, you will be able to here)
Once you are on the accounts page, click Add next to Secondary Email, then follow the steps to add another email account. (make sure you have access to the email account you are adding)
Once you have added the secondary email account, you will need to check that email address for a confirmation email from Firefox. After confirming the account with Firefox, switch back to the Firefox Accounts page and click Make Primary. Then, if you want to you can remove your old email address from being your secondary email address.
Congratulations, you now have a new primary email address associated with your Firefox account.
