I have many old e mail folders, filled with old e mails, no longer wanted.

I have to scroll down past many of these to find the folder I am after. How do I delete these unwanted & old folders?

Firefox is just a web browser and has no built-in email features, any email accessed through Firefox will be a webmail based system. Any features of the email will be part of the webmail service that you are using. You will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to delete the folders.
