I was trying to create a "sync" account in Firefox for Android, and typoed when keying in the email address I wanted to use. I realized it at the page where it said that it was going to send me an email for me to confirm. But there's no way to correct the misspelling in the email address. I tried starting over (exiting out of sync), but when I go back into sync, the silly thing keeps going back to the page I was last at in an attempt to continue using the misspelled email address (which, of course, I won't be able respond to--I tried tapping in the box with the misspelled email address, but it doesn't allow me to correct the misspelling)

I would just like to trash the entire sync setup process and start all over from scratch. How can I do this?

Hello.

Do you have any important/needed bookmarks, passwords, or history that you would like to keep? If not, then the easiest way would be to go to android's settings--apps-- and then tap on firefox--and then press "clear data". WARNING: This will reset Firefox to it's default settings, like when it was just installed. This should clear up everything and you should start over from scratch.

If you need to keep your Firefox profile (a.k.a. bookmarks, history, passwords, etc.) Then please let us know.
