when I signed up for my firefox account, I accidentally misspelled my email address. Now, I'm being asked to "confirm" the account through the email sent to me...however, since my email address is misspelled, the email is being sent to the misspelled email address, which does not exist and i can't access!!! I tried creating new account with the correct email address, but it's not allowing me to do that...I can't log in to change my email address until I "confirm" the account, which I can't do!!!

So now what??
