I want to prevent Twitter from accessing my Firefox favourites

I tried to tweet something from the UK Radio Times website but it wouldn't allow me to do so directly via the Tweet button. When I clicked on the options menu I was then prompted to set up some sort of access to Twitter by Firefox which involved giving permissions for Twitter to access my favourites. I can't entirely remember the details! However, I don't want to link my Twitter account to my browser and can't seem to find any options to reverse this action.

I may well have misread the initial instructions but any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

This site? http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-04-07/ed-miliband-pledges-to-maintain-bbc-licence-fee

If I click the little Twitter icon next to Share it, Firefox shows a yellow bar telling me it blocked a pop-up window, and providing a button with several options. If you aren't seeing that, you might want to just allow pop-ups for this site using the Permissions panel. You can access that in any of the following ways:

  • right-click the page and choose View Page Info > Permissions
  • (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
  • click the padlock or globe icon to the left of the site address > More Information > Permissions

Scroll down to Open pop-up windows and edit the setting (uncheck "Use default" and click "Allow").

Then try again. Do you get the Twitter page to log in?
