I associated an email account for sending from when "Email a link to this page" is used (the envelope symbol). I would like to remove that account or change it, but can't figure out how. Thanks.

Hi, need to know where you used the envelope to configure your address please and if it was Thunderbird please see here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird

Firefox not Thunderbird. The envelope symbol to initiate sending an email link is located in the menu feature (three horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner).
