I have more than one gmail account & Firefox is using the one I DON'T want to use when mailing links to pages. I have an account with Firefox using the gmail account I want to use for this purpose, but it is using my other account somehow. In the application options, I can only choose using gmail & cannot choose which gmail account.

Firefox uses your default Gmail account.

Google defaults to the first account you logged in with.

If you want to change your default account, this might help :

Hmm, if I use "Email Link..." for this page, Firefox sends this:

https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=mailto:?body=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.mozilla.org%2Fen-US%2Fquestions%2F1230786&subject=How%20can%20I%20change%20the%20gmail%20account%20used%20when%20using%20the%20%22Email%20a%20link%20to%20this%20page%22%20button%3F%20%7C%20Firefox%20Support%20Forum%20%7C%20Mozilla%20Support

Basically, Gmail is left to decide how to handle that request.

If you know of a parameter that can be added to the address to select a particular account, you could set up another mailto "handler" using that slightly modified URL. (I haven't search for whether a parameter exists... have to log out now.)
