My email address has changed since I first discovered Firefox and became a member. I do not remember how to get into my Firefox account to see if I need to update any other details other than changed email address.

There isn't such a thing as a Firefox account, as far as I know.

Did you mean these support forums?

Could you please paste the URL of the page you are wanting to log into with your email address?

Thank you for your response, rjohnson19. I most likely got firefox mixed up with something else.

Cheers

Same problem. My email address has changed and I need to notify Firefox in order for Firefox to be able to help solve a problem.

How do I do this. I've tried, so far no success!

olcoach:

If you are talking about the notification emails that this forum send to you, you can go to:


Profiles --> My Account -- > Preferences

and change your email address/password there.

I need to change my email address for the forum. How do I do that?

I am also trying to change my email address for this forum. I don't see anything about email under Profile > Edit My Profile. It's not lumped together with change password, as it is on some other forums. I don't see Profiles > My Account > Preferences either.

Did the change email form get accidentally left out or hidden?

You are right, there doesn't seem to be a way to change your e-mail address. Whether this limited functionality of this forum is here for a specific reason or not, we don't know. Well, you'll probably have to register again with another user name if you have no way of keeping your e-mail address permanent. Seems to be done reasonably easy and fast.

Perhaps if the system notices bouncing e-mail notifications to your old user e-mail, this user name might get released again for re-use at some point - just guessing.
