Firefox shows one email for which I have no password that works, but it shows that email as my primary email in nice bold letters. Under the management portion of settings, it does not show a secondary email, however when I try to log in using another email, it tells me its the secondary email and won't login.!! I cannot find any way to change the current email for Firefox to the one I want except deleting my entire FireFox account!! There's got to be a better way! Fred

These instructions are not current web pages, too many people stirring the pot.

You can add a second email address and confirm this address. Once it has been confirmed, you can make the second email address your primary email address.
