Correct, the link provided is not for Google password reset. It is for resetting your Firefox account password directly through Mozilla’s Firefox Account system. Firefox accounts are entirely independent of Google.
If you’re expecting a Google password reset, please clarify further. Would you like help identifying which type of account you're specifically referring to (Google or Firefox)? Also, let me know if you're mixing services, and I’ll guide you accordingly!![]()

It seems you're facing issues specifically resetting or accessing your Firefox account when it's linked to a non-Google environment. Here’s what to try based on existing patterns and potential troubleshooting methods:

Suggested Steps to Recover Access:
- Access the Correct Reset System:
- Use Mozilla's independent password reset system:
Firefox Account Password Reset. - Ensure your account email matches the one registered with Firefox.
- Use Mozilla's independent password reset system:
- Testing Connectivity and Cache Issues:
- Clear browser cache:
- Menu → Settings → Privacy & Security → Clear Cache (or clear cookies and retry).
- Alternatively, attempt the reset using a new browser or private window (Ctrl + Shift + P) to ensure no old session interferes.
- Clear browser cache:
- Verify Lock/Security Behaviors:
- Multiple failed reset attempts may lock your account temporarily. Repeat after 30 minutes.
- Check for OAuth Logins:
- If Google OAuth (sign-in via Google email) was configured with your Firefox account, always select “Sign in with Google” instead of entering credentials directly.
- Explore Mozilla Support Options:
- If the normal resets continue to fail, contact Mozilla directly:
- Use Mozilla Support Forum to obtain personalized assistance (describe your account's status/error).

Key Notes:
This approach focuses solely on Firefox-specific account resets, distinct from Google’s ecosystem. If you’re inadvertently mixing account credentials, we can dive deeper into isolating the cause further. Let me know if you'd like to analyze unusual behaviors step-by-step.

I’m sorry to hear that the earlier suggestions didn’t resolve the issue. As a next step, we can take a closer look if there’s a specific error you're encountering or analyze the processes more deeply. However, if you’re choosing to pause or give up for now, that’s completely okay too—I’m here to help anytime you’re ready to revisit the issue.
Let me know if you’d like me to reanalyze any specific files, steps, or try something entirely different!
