Verification nag

Signing in to Firefox will constantly nag me for a verification code by email when I'm using Internet outside the home (which is all the time).

This is a pain as the email provider will also nag for a verification code.

I'm really just lucky the last email provider (where the verification code for the first email goes), is not in the same business of nagging for a verification code, or i would be locked out.

Way too cumbersome to use Firefox account in this way.

You need to turn off Two-factor authentication on that website.

Thanks, but that is already disabled.

I just forgot to mention it, sorry.

I should add that it seems to be whenever I log in from another IP address.

Ah. Many websites record where you log in from. Some will send a 2fa if the information does not match.

I don't know how the Firefox account server determines whether you use a new device that requires confirmation because of a connection change because normally the Firefox Password Manager would store the credentials in the Password Manager.

If you would have the verify this constantly then there might be a problem with the Password Manager.
