Using laptop with Windows 10. Went to Firefox Help. Tried to change the password but not my username. Received a message that notification had been made to my email. I have not received anything at my email. I am concerned because have received a message purportedly from a hacker and wish to change old passwords, such as the one on my Firefox account that has not been updated ever. As I was setting up my community account just now and received a message to confirm this my email account. This email account confirmation was delivered to my email.

A second attempt at password change was successful. There is no need to respond. Please forgive the false alarm!
