Apparently someone hacked into my account and put in the name Bob George. He also downloaded many email addresses and is apparently sending out emails to them because I have had many returned unknown recipient. How do I get his name out and mine back?

Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support. http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/support/

I tried support from ATT. Had a man that barely spoke English and he transferred me back to my original email. It was so slow I changed it back to Mozilla, but the other name came back. I really don't want to do a new email or password. Any more suggestions/ Iva
