Hi Colin,

My name is Kiki, the support community manager here. Unfortunately, there's no way to we can verify account ownership if you locked out due to 2FA issue. The only way to keep using Firefox Account is to create a new account.

See here for more information.

You should visit https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/accounts/ page and start to sign in your old account. If you are unable to sign in than try it to recover your old account before deleting it from Firefox.
