If anyone from Mozilla is reading, I want to switch to Firefox. But I used to have a Firefox account with 2fa and lost my backup keys. The best part they won't even let me delete that account and start new even if I sent a mail from that same email account. I don't want to create another Gmail account just for Firefox.

Add a dot somewhere in the user part of the address. This looks like a new address but it is not.

Or, if you already have a dot, remove it.

i.e. Gmail treats

[email protected]

the same as

[email protected]

or

[email protected]

Another trick is to use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com
