At the registration period, I provided my company mail ID now I quite the job so mail id also disables by the company. Due to some technical issue, I deleted the firefox and reinstall again but when I wanted to login my profile showing verification mail has been sent to your register mail id. But mail not comes to me because mail id has been disabled. So please provide me the alternative way to access my account. Register mail ID was x

Hi
Thank you for your question about the Firefox Sync service.
It appears from your question, that you are using Firefox Sync as a back up service. This is not what Sync is designed to do. The Firefox Sync service takes a copy of the data you wish to include and transfers it to a second device (typically a mobile device such as a tablet or a telephone) running a copy of Firefox. The storage in between all attached devices is both temporary and fragile and is not stable enough to be (and is not designed as) a reliable backup service.
If you have a copy of your Firefox profile for desktop Firefox, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and other data. Please have a read of this article.
If you have a copy of your data on a mobile version of Firefox, please follow these instructions to connect it to Firefox Sync to copy your data.
For your privacy and security I have removed your email address from your question.
Note that if you can't respond to a confirmation email then it is not possible to recover your data. To be able to use Sync you would have to create a new Sync account with the new email address. It is always best to backup your personal data locally because Sync isn't meant to be used as a backup service as posted above.
