Change email address used in "From" line when clicking on email link in web page
How do I change the email account inserted by Firefox when I click on an email link?
I have previously changed the main email address (added secondary address, swapped secondary for primary, deleted secondary) but when I click an email link in a web page to write an email to the web page business, the old deleted email account is used instead of the new one. This old address is not listed at all as far as I have seen in my Mozilla Account.

Normally, when you click an email link and send it to your preferred email site, Firefox is only providing the details coded into the link:
- "to" address
- optionally, "cc" and "bcc" addresses
- optionally, "subject" and "body" content
The From address is supplied by your email client/website.
If you need to reset the program/site that handles mailto links, please see the steps in the following article: Change the program used to open email links.
