I mistyped my email address when syncing. How do I change it?

I was syncing my telephone to my firefox account and mistyped the last letter of my email address. Firefox keeps saying the email it attempted to send me for verification has been returned, and it suggests the email (address) may be mistyped - but it does not give me any way to change the address. Can you tell me how I can do this?

Thanks for the idea, and apologies for my slow response. I had to uninstall and re-install.

Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail, will remove all data from the servers.
