I started with Firefox in 2000. I listed my email as [edited] @sbcglobal.net. It appears that company was bought out by another provider (ATT?). I need to remove sbcglobal and replace it with a new email address but to do so I need a code, but Mozilla will only send it to the sbcglobal site. How can I change? Thanks in advance

I have friends who still use sbcglobal email address, so there must be a way to get those messages. Are you able to get in through the Mail button at the upper right on https://currently.att.yahoo.com/ ?

Jscher2000, thanks for your suggestion. Looks like we both may have started with Fire Fox in 2000.

No, clicking on the mail button only brought up my standard email acct., which was once connected to @sbcglobal.net. I need to eliminate that address. When I click on I forgot my code, it will only send the email to the bad address which I can't get into. I replaced my four YO computer and wanted to transfer my links and bookmarks. Until I can finish the set up, which wants me to sign in via the old email address, I can't bring that info into my new Firefox app without the password.

Are you still able to sign in to that account? I realize it's not your preferred account any more, but do you still have access? If not, you may need to create a new Mozilla account using your new address and abandon the old one. Unless you have paid services link to the account, I don't think you would lose anything in the process.

The web browser we know as Firefox started back in September 23, 2002 as Phoenix 0.1. It was Pgenix for 0.1 to 0.5 then Firebird for 0.6-0.7 then Firefox from 0,8 Release to current. Mozilla did have a Mozilla suite that existed before which they later discontinued and was then continued as SeaMonkey by community

Firefox Account now called Mozilla Account since Nov 2023 is a much more recent thing as it started as Firefox Sync as early as 2011 ?.
