Actual results:

was told I need to use my primary email address to log, I don't understand because I still received the verification code.

Hi Andrew, I think this is a known bug where your primary email address is cached within the browser. I think you should be able to resolve this by visiting https://accounts.firefox.com/clear and attempting to sign in again
