How do I change the name my account is listed or registered under? My real life name has changed and now I want to update it everywhere. I successfully changed the Display name and email address on my Firefox account. The names on my computer have been fully updated. But in looking at my Firefox account profile, under Devices & apps, the device name still shows as OldName's Firefox on NewNames-computer. I want to get rid of the OldName entirely. How? Thank you for any suggestions.

You can modify the name of the device on those devices. In desktop Firefox, in Settings → Sync you can set the Device Name. On mobile, you can do this in Account Settings.

You can disconnect devices that no longer exist or that look wrong.
