Email is displayed by default for the new account

This just happened to me and trying to change it back was a bit weird because there’s no save button for that field in the profile settings. I had to re-save my generic profile picture for it to change.

Thanks to Chris, I’m aware of the issue too. Probably one of the reasons I started getting spam in the first place Now I have to find a way to delete my account.

For anybody else looking, the problem is that your email address is used as your name! Go to your preferences and change your name.

Edit: wow, can’t even delete my account? Is this legal? Guess I’ll have to vandalise my contributions instead.

Pretty stupefying. I am reconsidering withholding some amount of my donations to Mozilla foundation least as a vote of protest over a lack of visible attention or acknowledgement. While Firefox remains by and large the best browser to use because of privacy, ignoring this issue entirely does not seem great.
