My Amazon account keeps sending me emails that say my password is attempting to be changed. For the device ID that is given it says this device ip address Mozilla Firefox. For location it says Georgia USA. 

 The issue with this is that I am not in GA, I live in and am sitting in the state of Kentucky. Several hundred miles from GA. So if there is anything about this that can be done I really appreciate it.

Hi

This is someone trying to access your account (may just have an email address that is very similar to your and keeps typing it in wrong) through the Amazon web page that they are viewing using a copy of Firefox on their computer.

This may be accidental, but it will not be possible to establish that. If in doubt, change your email address and update your account on Amazon with that address.
