In the right hand corner where my drop down box is - it is showing an old email address I am getting ready to cancel. I have a new email address that I would like to enter but I cannot seem to find the right place to enter. I found the place to change the password but my only option is to change the password or to delete account. Is there somewhere else I can change the email address? Thank you!

If you are talking about this forum ( you did not mention Sync ), go to the top of any Mozilla.org page.Left click the down arrow next to your name and select Edit Profile. Find your e-mail, and on its right side, press Change.

Although you can't change your email address, you can follow this procedure:

  1. Disconnect all your devices from Sync.
  2. Create a new Firefox Sync account.
  3. Sync all your devices to your new Firefox account.

If everything synced properly, you might want to delete your old Firefox Sync account.

I suppose there is no "change e-mail address" option because it's so easy to create Firefox Sync accounts, but such a feature would be an excellent idea.

I hope that helped! Happy browsing!
