Why is my email shown on the drop down menu? It is private and I don't want it shown.

When I click the three bars in the upper right hand corner of the screen, it shows a private email that I do NOT want displayed. Other people use my desktop PC. How can I erase this address?

Hmm, I don't know why your email address would be on Firefox's menu. Are you sure it's not a website's own menu that happens to use the same icon?

If it's Firefox's menu: does it appear below an add-on icon, for example, something email related?

Are you connected to Sync?

If that is the case then your email address will show instead of Sign in to Sync.

You should have separate Windows Logon User Accounts for each person who uses that PC regularly or a "guest" account for occasional users to share. Allowing everyone to use your own User Account leaves you vulnerable to a lot more than someone learning your email address! http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/user-accounts-faq#1TC=windows-7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-7
