I've changed my email addresses. When i come to Firefox to update that change in my email for sync login there's no option to be found. I created a new account using my correct e-mail and now I can't find how to bring over all my sync data. Simply put, I want to update my email from my original sync login. If that's not an option (which baffles me) than I need to transfer all sync data to my new email sync login.

Hi smdavis913, Yes, I can understand how that is baffling. However that is exactly what I am going to recommend. Once you change an account name, the local profile will sync to the attached account. They cannot be merged. By simply removing the old account from the connected devices and adding the new email, the data that are on the local computers will merge in the new sync account. (Do not make any changes locally to the profiles until it has successfully been done to avoid data loss. )

Thank you. I noticed that once I deleted my account and created a new one on the same device all synced data stayed the same, and then synced up w/ the new username. Thanks.
