Why does Firefox attach documents in email to one drive when the document did not originate with one drive?

I have tried this with other browsers, and it doesn't happen so it seems to be a setting within Firefox. When I send an email, and attach a document, even tho' the document is saved to a specific folder not in the cloud, when the document is attached in an email that I have initiated using Firefox, it forces the recipient to use Onedrive. The Onedrive cloud appears right after the document has been attached in email. I have clicked on the onedrive icon and confirmed the settings do not originated with Onedrive. Where can I change this email settings in Firefox.

Is this on the "consumer" version of Outlook (e.g., Live mail, Hotmail) or on the "business" version (Office 365)?

When I attach a file from my computer on the consumer site, I have a choice screen for OneDrive or attached copy. There is a mouseover indicating you can choose or change your default in Attachment Options (see attached screenshot). Not sure if that is relevant to your account.
