I can not use the authenticator app because I removed it from my phone. I do not have any recovery codes, so I can not log into my Firefox account. Is there another way to regain access to your account? Can a Firefox employee reset the account manually?

You should have disabled 2FA before removing the authenticator app or at least create new recovery codes. Now you will have to create a new account with another email.

I would still like to access that account or delete it permanently with all my data. If it is possible? Could I somehow contact the mozilla support who can access such things? If exist some GDPR departament in Mozilla?
