How do I hide my email address in Firefox?

I’m tired of my email address popping up automatically every time I look at something on the internet. I’ve tried to search on line for an answer, but keep coming up with hiding IP address which I don't think is the same thing.
I believe its Google that’s finding it and giving it away and I don’t know how to hide it on my computer.
 
Sorry i had to go someplace for awhile.

Anyway it pops up on log-in fields of sites that has one while searching with Google and also every time I go on to YouTube whether I’m logged in or not.

The thing is that I’ve changed email address 3 times trying to stop spam because I was getting over 100 spam’s a day.

I’ve searched in all the files on my computer including hidden and system files to see if I could find it. I’m assuming that it has to be getting it in FireFox, since thats the only place I’ve used my email address.

I don’t know how they have my work computer set up, but when I go to sites like HomeDepot or anything they have me coming up in different cities across the country as my location.

I would like the same thing on my computer, because every time I go into the Google search window local adds popup that I’m not looking for and they usually have my email address. I do not want Google to know my address.

I read someplace that there was a place in Windows Live that you could make up a fake email address, but I can’t find it on my computer.

Here is a link for the what I read earlier. http://www.vistax64.com/browsers-mail/278806-can-i-hide-my-e-mail-address-recipients.html

If you don't want websites to remember your login information then don't allow it when you sign in. Run the program called Ccleaner and it will delete the data that stores your login information.
 
Ok I went into FireFox settings and deleted everything. I then opened a Google search window and it didn’t know me even when I went into other login windows from Google search. I still need to check out YouTube.
So I guess I have to just login manually everyplace and remove cookies after each session.

Thanks, I hear references to "Pale Moon" all the time, but I don't really know what it is and the last time I looked it up, I was kind of confused because it sounded like it was part of FireFox.??? :confused:

Anyway I don't know maybe I read some bad information because I don't know how to access it. Is it a separate program that I need to download?
