- Rated 5 out of 5by xeoth, 4 years agoIt used to work just fine, but now it stopped forwarding registration/email confirmation emails. Well, it says that it forwards them (the "Forwarded" field is incremented), but no emails arrive in my inbox. Surprisingly, pure-text emails from my other email addresses arrive normally.
Reply 1: I use ProtonMail. And yes, I did check spam and trash and every other folder - it's not there. Also, pure-text emails stopped getting forwarded too :(
Late edit: works perfectly fine now.Developer response
posted 4 years agoProtonMail delivery should be fixed now; thank you for reporting this! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16277706, 4 years agoThis extension is great if you want to subscribe to newsletters and then forget them or you don't want to give your main email to a website.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13619449, 4 years agoLike others have said - I love the idea, but just doesn't work for enough sites that I want it for (mostly social media or adult-oriented websites).
Update - doesn't work with Flickr - Rated 4 out of 5by brandonpa, 4 years agoAbsolutely love this idea! Works great. 2 things of which I know one should (hopefully) be an easy fix and the other, more a feature request.
1. Can we have a list of the aliases that were created easily accessed so we can fill out email forms easier? It seems that when I want to use an alias I have leave my form and to go into the "manage aliases" page and the copy from there. There should be easier method to access our aliases to fill out the form.
2. Any way to respond through the alias? I know if I expect to receive an email that may be interesting, I may want to respond back, but still not with my own email address.
Thank you regardless for this awesome extension and hopefully it will only get better with time! Developer response
posted 4 years agoProtonMail delivery should be fixed now; thank you for reporting this!- Rated 4 out of 5by Slayereon, 4 years agoLove this idea, very useful for when you need to make a one-off account or when you're not sure a website is trustworthy. Will be so much more useful when we can make more/unlimited aliases.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14666618, 4 years agoThis is just brilliant. Registering for services online without having the concern of some data breach leaking your private mail address or dealing with a company that sells your e-mail address to third parties. Good job Mozilla!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Y_P, 5 years agoThe concept is good but I'm not receiving some confirmation emails when I use the relay to subscribe on a website.
Reply 1: Updated rating since everything seems fixed now :)
However, as some mentioned, it would be ideal for the widget to directly display the relay address and have the option to copy it.Developer response
posted 4 years agoIf you're using ProtonMail, ProtonMail delivery should be fixed now; thank you for reporting this! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14124145, 5 years agoWorks fine.
One problem: it is very hard to copy emails from the manager if you have clipboardevents disabled, please auto select the email when pressing the copy button to CTRL+C it.
Also it would be better if there was no subdomain in the email. - Rated 3 out of 5by Cosmic_Annihilation, 5 years agoThis service is a great idea in principle and I hope it helps funding Firefox. But I already found sites that are blocking these alias email addresses, probably because it's too easy to simply block the relay.firefox.com domain. I'm not directly blaming Mozilla for this but hopefully new versions of the service will make it harder for sites to block the aliases.
- Rated 5 out of 5by high_bit, 5 years agoOttimo servizio! Da avere assolutamente per evitare lo spam in siti dove ti registri per prova
- Rated 4 out of 5by Uuuui, 5 years agoI like this extension, but it could be a bit better if you could choose which email address to forward emails to if you have any secondary addresses in your account.
Better yet, there could be the option to manually type the email address in, allowing you to choose whichever one you want. However, I understand if the developers don't want to add that feature because of the risk for abuse.
Also, if there is a way for Mozilla/Firefox Relay to tell me when a message that was supposed to be forwarded was blocked because it was too large, I'd like this extension/service even more.
I'm happy with how this extension is currently, but I still think it has some room for improvements. - Rated 5 out of 5by --FIRE--, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15187783, 5 years agoWorks for me. However it populates multiple entries in "Devices and Apps" section of Mozilla account. Probably as many as devices it's activated on. Makes no sense, as this is same service used across.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jarooo_t, 5 years agoGrate add-on.. the only thing is the length of aliases.. some websites asking for shorter ones (like email address can't be longer than 25 characters) - any chance you can customize this a bit?? Thanks!!
- Rated 4 out of 5by JJ, 5 years agoVery cool addon, have been looking for something like this for some time, but it REALLY needs some way of having unlimited aliases. Maybe a pro version, maybe unlimited aliases with a custom domain, but unlimited aliases are really important because then you could create an alias for every website.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13790203, 5 years agoI already love this add-on and will likely use it more. The icon that shows up in email fields is so easy. My main gripe is that it takes a few minutes for the email to arrive, causing a moment of panic about whether it worked. Only one time did I experience that the relay email caused a purchase order form to malfunction. I trust Mozilla not to read the content of my email, but I would appreciate more information about the terms and processes of Amazon Simple Email Service. The link to their privacy policy from Mozilla's isn't really helpful enough, because I don't know what part is relevant for the service provision. I treat companies that "do" things with email with suspicion so Firefox Relay could differentiate itself more by emphasizing and explaining that it is indeed private and doesn't suck up or aggregate my private data (if that is indeed the case).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kalamun, 5 years agoI find this service useful and the plugin nice. However, I experienced an issue and I found no place where to report it.
The issue: the plugin create a wrapper around the email field (class fx-relay-email-input-wrapper) with z-index of 99999999999999.
The label of that field was supposed to be over the field (z-index 100), but is actually hidden by the field itself (that normally has a z-index of 10) and this breaks the layout.
Thank you to consider this scenario in your tests.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for finding this. We have logged an issue for this problem and expect to deliver a solution in a future release. - Rated 3 out of 5by tinytoast, 5 years agoThe idea of a relay junkmail with option to enable/disable redirection is excellent!
However, I find the addon and the user experience to be near useless.
BEST UX practice:
1. Click on email field, addon suggests to input relay address.
2. Click on any alias, it gets submitted to field. Nice and easy.
Current flow:
1. Click email field, addons says "You have X aliases left", only "Manage" button available;
2. Click Manage, get redirected to Mozilla sign in page;
3. Sign in to Mozilla;
4. Manually copy alias from the list;
5. Go back to page with email field;
6. Manually paste the alias.Developer response
posted 5 years agoSeveral Relay users have suggested similar enhancements and we have this use case on our roadmap. Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. - Rated 5 out of 5by Soykan A., 5 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14350211, 5 years ago便利なんですが、転送されてきたメールで相手のメールアドレスがわからないのはどうしたものか...
また、エイリアスの管理画面で作成したエイリアスにメモなどを書き込めるとさらによいと思いました。今後エイリアス数上限が上がること期待してしまいます。
It's convenient. However, you can't know to know the email address of the person to whom the forwarded email is coming from. That's a complaint.
And I thought it would be even better if I could write memos and so on to the alias I created in the alias management screen. I hope the maximum number of aliases will be increased in the future.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the feedback and sorry to reply in English. We are working through some issues with non-Latin character sets. We should have a solution soon. We have an item in our backlog to allow you to annotate email aliases with additional information. And yes, we will offer a version that provides more than 5 email aliases. - Rated 1 out of 5by MX, 5 years agoNo tiene una función para enviar información sobre errores del programa, ya que como es una fase beta seria lo recomendable para que llegasen lo mas rápido posible, ya que no tiene esa función diré por aquí, que tiene un error, que al recibir los correos en la bandeja de entrada, no se muestran los caracteres especiales.

posted 5 years agoSorry for the reply in English. I'm not sure what kind of reporting function for program errors you are looking for. Are you asking for a way within Relay to provide feedback? Also curious about what errors you are encountering.
