I'm trying to create a Firefox account to continue to Pocket. It's asking for email and password so am I making up an email account with Firefox or do I use my Google email to sign in? Thank you

hi xioali - a firefox account basically requires a valid existing email address from any provider of your choice & a password of your choice for that purpose (in general it is good practise to use different passwords for different web services, so please don't reuse the pw of your mail account).

Thank you so much for your help. I never would have figured that out and I would still be sitting there pulling on my hair. I finished creating my account and I really appreciate the tip on the password.
