when creating firefox account, i entered 0 as my age, because i saw no reason for ffox to ask for this private info. after that, firefox told me i am too young to have an account and there was no way to go back!

just another horrible act on ffox part that does not surprise me at all after seeing so many :(

if this happens to you, here is the solution: find the firefox cookies and delete them (see image)

I think that it should normally possible to close and restart Firefox to recover from this mistake.
