For many Firefox users, a Firefox account has been indispensable. It safely syncs<\/a> everything from open tabs, bookmarks, history and add-ons<\/a> to passwords, credit card information and saved addresses across desktop and mobile devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, over the past few years, a Firefox account has grown its support beyond our beloved web browser. It\u2019s now the authentication and account management tool for millions of users across Mozilla\u2019s family of products<\/a> \u2013 all designed to keep people safer and smarter online. So, to reflect this expanding world of Mozilla services, we\u2019ve made the decision to rename \u201cFirefox accounts\u201d to \u201cMozilla accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More access for Firefox customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this name change, we hope people who love Firefox will continue to support the open-source browser that kickstarted Mozilla\u2019s journey. We also welcome them to explore our growing slate of Mozilla\u2019s people-first products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want a more transparent online shopping experience? Try Fakespot.<\/a> Looking to secure your internet connection? Check out Mozilla VPN<\/a>. Relay<\/a> will help protect your phone number and email addresses from spammers, while Monitor<\/a> can help keep your sensitive data private. And if you hope to find and save the best content online, give our popular Pocket<\/a> app a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A seamless transition (really)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re already a Firefox account customer, no need to create a new account. Or do anything at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can log in with the same email and password, and you\u2019ll find your information saved and secure right where you left it. We\u2019ll continue to send out emails from accounts@firefox.com<\/a> to keep important communications consistent. Rest assured, our terms of service<\/a> and privacy <\/a>notice remain unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In other words, you get all the same benefits of a Firefox account \u2014 just under the Mozilla name. Check out our support page<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Mozilla products just got easier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now sign in across Mozilla\u2019s products with your Google or Apple ID. Using your Google or Apple ID makes it easy to authenticate your identity and recover access to your account. While you can use your Google or Apple ID to log into your Mozilla account, you\u2019ll still need to set a password for your Mozilla account in order to sync your browser bookmarks, history, passwords, open tabs and more. Find out more in our support article<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond our current offerings for a safer and more secure internet, we invite everyone to keep an eye out for more exciting things to come. Whether that\u2019s our investment in trustworthy AI<\/a>, our exploration into a better social media<\/a> or our continuing efforts to advocate for ethical tech policies<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The needs of web users are always evolving. We\u2019re right there with you. But have no doubt that one thing will remain constant: Mozilla\u2019s dedication to keep the internet open, accessible and healthy for all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
