I had noticed that we no longer see the email address in the user profile with the new profile manager and recently saw a forum post about that regression.
Are there plans to add back inspecting and changing the email address?

Are there plans to add back inspecting and changing the email address?
The presentation thing is something we will focus heavily on in the next few weeks, we are completely rewriting the personal account dashboard and profiles and also adding group dashboards for forum contributors, live chat helpers etc. I'll start blogging about that soon.
Hmm, not being able to change your mail address is a bug. I filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621490

Are there plans to add back inspecting and changing the email address?
Yes. We didn't have time to finish email address changes for 2.4, but we'll get it finished shortly.
As for inspecting: you can opt to make your email address public in your profile. We defaulted everyone to private with the new profiles. If a user chooses to make their email public, you can see it on their profile (example).

Isn't that a security risk (what would happen if you change that email before submitting the form)?
This forum uses: <input type="hidden" name="watch" value="yes" /> , that is much better.
Noticed that each forum thread on the Firefox Support forum that you open has the email address in a hidden input field in the watch form.
<pre><nowiki><input name="email" value="xxx@xxx.xxx" id="id_email" type="hidden"></nowiki></pre>
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){for(i=0;y=document.getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[i];i++){if(y.name=='email')alert(y.value);}})();</nowiki></pre>

It's not a security risk, since it's your email, and never anyone else's. It does potentially cause problems if you change your email address in a different tab while on that page, but that's an edge case.
We are currently working on a revamp of our notification system, and things like that will get updated as part of that.
