I've had a Firefox account for a couple years now. It was under the email grimy.numbers at gmail. Google has for some reason found it appropriate to deactivate that account so now I cannot sign in to my fire fox account. What can I do to recover that account? Thanks.

Hi, nothing. What is this account for ? As there is no need to sign into Firefox at all. If it is for Sync and you are syncing (plural) systems  : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Never post any personal information because an adware robot could find it, and start sending you all kinds of spam. This includes e-mail, phone, and home information.

Please remove that information from your post.


If the problem is with a sync account;

Shut down and remove the old account. Then create a new one with the correct/new e-mail.
