Mozilla account privacy
Hello, I always use Firefox logged into my Mozilla account.
Yesterday I went to a (legitimate) site, that I had never visited before and only read one page. I didn't click on anything on that site/page, I only read that one page and left the site. Not long afterwards, I received a promotional email from that site stating "Thanks for stopping by!".
My question is: how did they know my email (the email used by my Mozilla account)? I have never received emails from that site, and as I said, I never visited it until then.
Does Firefox expose the Mozilla account email when visiting sites? This is pretty troubling. I would appreciate any input you have. Thanks

Hi
What is the address of the website?
Is your email account (that you received the email to) with Gmail?
Are you using form auto-fill in case you accidentally clicked in a login form?
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history" - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-whether-firefox-automatically-fills-forms
This is the page I went to, nowhere else on that site: https://audienhearing.com/blogs/home/why-does-pulsatile-tinnitus-come-and-go
There is no text box on that page. I didn't click on anything at all. My email didn't autofill anywhere. The email is @hotmail.com

Any new information on this?
This just happened again with Firefox 122.0.1 on Linux. The site is moodfabrics.com, which is a legit site. Just as before, I didn't enter anything anywhere, just browsed the site.
This is a pretty big deal. After years of using only Firefox, I guess it's time for Brave to take its place...
