Every time I open gmail on firefox, it opens to a certain gmail account and the url is https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox. This email is not listed as the primary email on my account and I don't see any way to change the default email that firefox opens to. I want to set my primary email as the gmail account that will open my default and save as user 0, and I also want to delete some of the accounts that are listed for me to log in to.

Hi Gideon, I don't know how Google decides which account is 0 vs. 1, etc.

If you clear your Google cookies, Google should forget about the accounts you have signed into and you can start with the one you most want to use.

I suggest signing out of Gmail, and then while viewing a page on Google, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that. Firefox will ask you to confirm; go ahead and confirm.

Then try reloading the page and returning to sign in. Does that work?

You can have multiple email accounts open at Gmail, Google numbers them in the order you open them (login). You can sign out of all accounts to reset this list.
