Out of the blue my emails began showing up to recipients with a weird sender name yesterday afternoon. How do I get rid of that and go back to normal name? Tried AOL tech and that did not help. Thanks if you can help me.

FF is a browser not a email program.

Hello needtoknowhow,

Like Westend said : Firefox is a browser, and doesn't 'do' email, but would you please take a look at this article :
