I cant offer you a solution but what i would do personally, change my mail adress, he/she is using your mail adress for the login attempts. After a week or month change it back and see if this is still happening.

No. Do not use the old e-mail ever again.


Make sure you are using a very strong password. If you think you should change the current password;

Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail will remove all data from the servers. The username and password are used to create the encryption.

This is a security feature. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information
