If you can't access this old Firefox account because the email address no longer exist or can't be accessed then there is no way to delete this account. You can only setup a new account with a valid email address.

If I want to set up a new account, I have to use the secondary email on the account I can't access. How do I remove the secondary email from my first account so I can use it to set up a new account?

Can't you use this secondary email to access this Firefox account?

Did you try a password reset on this account to see if the email is send to both primary and secondary accounts?
