Delete Firefox Account I no Longer have Email Access to

I recently changed jobs and my old work email address is now closed. I had originally created the account using my personal gmail account, but changed the primary email to my old work email. Now I cannot create a new Firefox Sync account using my personal gmail since it is tied to this defunct Sync account. I can log in with the email and password, but it won't let me change any settings with my account without a verification code. I called a friend at my old work and there is no way for them to temporarily reactivate my email account.

Is there any way that I can get this account deleted without the verification code? I don't care if the data is lost. I wanted to start over from scratch anyways. I can view my profile data through the support page, but when I click on the delete account option, it continues to ask for the verification code. If there is a way on the back end to completely delete it, I would appreciate it.

I tried that, but when I click the Delete Account button, it keeps asking for the validation code. Guess I can't ever delete the account. Thanks for the link.

Sorry about that! I think you can't really delete the account without validation code.

Kind regards,
