How to check if firefox is releasing email address to topics searched?

more options

Have been asking Mozilla associated "support" sites. When I search a topic I will start receiving emails within 10 to 15 minutes to my business account on information on the topic. I run FireFox and Thunderbird on an Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. Ant ideas how my email is being given out. I run ClamTk often.

Email addresses that are used when registering for anything associated with Mozilla or is related to Firefox aren't shared with anyone.

Which search engine are you using? If Google, are you always logged in to your "All of Google" account? If so, was that "business account" email address used for registering your Google Account?
