So you have to create a new email address and manage that for your whole life because there is no way provided by firefox to either recover the code, login to your account, reset it or delete the account.

if this happens to you in the future again, you have to create another email address and manage it for your lifetime again.

Basically, you are stuck in a loop forever. Most you can do is forget about using firefox
