Error occurring when trying to log in to Mozilla support with Firefox account

I had Mozilla support account before, but now it seems Mozilla support accounts are phased out and instead Firefox accounts are used.

When I try to log in to Mozilla support with my Firefox account two errors are occurring:

"The email used with this Firefox Account is already linked in another profile." "This account is not active. Please contact an administrator if you believe this is an error"

I think the problem is that my Firefox account had e-mail address A, and my Mozilla account has address B Then I have changed my Firefox account e-mail address to address B.

I'm aware that this is not the best forum for this kind of issue but I have found no email address I could reach for help with account without being able to login so I had to create new Firefox account to ask this question, and there is no "meta" board for questions about Mozilla/Firefox accounts itself.

The old Mozilla Support accounts were discontinued April 14, 2020. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-accounts-supportmozillaorg

The section to discuss things related to support.mozilla.org is at support.mozilla.org/forums/

I am able to log in at https://accounts.firefox.com/signin what I'm talking about is login in at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/auth

But that give me idea to log in on my Firefox account and change my primary email back to old one and it works now, so all I need is just leave old e-mail address as primary until the issue gets fixed. I will create a thread at support.mozilla.org/forums/ as James pointed out.

I have the same problem. Could the Firefox (account) team please look into this issue?

I would like to use the email that I used for the support forum as the email address for my main (and now only) Firefox account.
