- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15019842, 4 years agoThe forwarding mechanism works fast (enough) and reliably. But I'd expect the extension to show the adresses that have been created, along their names. As you can only create 5 adresses, they'll be used for multiple services, not just one. So please, let me select and copy / paste the adresses right from the little overlay or the extension window, instead of having to go to the website.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kris, 4 years agoI really like the concept and believe that some general problems will be fixed in the future.
Since I can't find any other place to report some Websites that do not accept @relay.firefox.com addresses here is a list:
(Accept the Address but mail doesn't get through):
blizzard.com
epicgames.com
(Doesn't even accept the address):
reddit - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13454645, 4 years agoAs usual the Firefox team is out in front of others and this is another great addition. I would like to see if a user can add characters (like Yahoo) and have the rest randomized or something. I just started using this...but I'm loving it. As a grad student I'm hoping a paid option does not ruin it for me...I'm also hopeful as other users for using diff verification emails. Great tool!
- Rated 4 out of 5by m-p{3}, 4 years agoI love the idea behind the concept, but I hope the 5 address limit might be increased or even removed, even if it's a paid option.
I also hope the ability to forward to a verified registered secondary email in a Firefox account will be added eventually.
I also hope the ability to manually add a note to a specific relay email to know it was used where, as I don't always rely on the extension to create one. - Rated 4 out of 5by taigi100, 4 years agoAwesome idea, looks good!
It needs a way to select the alias quickly and insert it in forms. I'd say either make the alias customizable or make the plugin icon bar show the aliases with a small copy button near them. - Rated 4 out of 5by Liminor, 4 years agoA few features are left to be desired: The top bar icon would be more helpful if it showed the emails you've generated already; allowance of "-" in the url string. Every test environment on Netlify uses it. I would see relay as a great tool for registering test emails for developers.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mani Naren, 4 years agoI love it. It works as expected. 5 alias limit might seem too restrictive, but at the moment I am not impacted by it.
I miss two things
1. my own alias which many have reported
2. Change my forwarding email address. Right now it only takes email from firefox account.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the feedback! Both of those items are on our backlog. - Rated 4 out of 5by tekgnomon, 4 years agoIf a user has many Relay IDs and happens to get emails which for some reason are not easily identifiable from the content as to which account sent them, then it would be useful if the information in the forwarding header also included the information from the Account note field which was provided when the ID was created.

posted 4 years agoThanks for the feedback. Unfortunately - or fortunately? - the account note for the ID is saved client-side in the add-on so that Mozilla never has a record of where you created an alias. This means we don't have the account note in our server where we generate the forwarding header. - Rated 4 out of 5by another dude, 4 years agoi currently have burner email extension which allows you to use 5 email addresses which can be used over and over again without logging in. i was expecting relay to be the same but it seems i have to log in to use it every time, and when i close the tab or firefox browser, i have to log in again.i'm guessing i'm missing something : ) or not ? but either way i'm sticking around to watch it grow , thanks its still useful though, just a bit different.
sorry for late response, after using a clean profile i'm guessing my problem was an addon clash as it works as expected now : ) gonna check them out by disabling one by one - thanks
so it is temporary containers addon that was causing it for me.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the feedback. Hmm ... you should only have to log in once and the add-on should stay logged-in all the time. Would you be comfortable filing an issue on GitHub with specific steps to reproduce the bug you're seeing? https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay/issues - Rated 4 out of 5by Clemens, 4 years agoSeems to work very well. 4 instead of 5 stars because only 5 aliases is not enough for my needs...but I guess this will maybe increase in the future.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14353500, 4 years agoFirst impression: great application, I can finally use it to sign in some small sites or blogs that might have security concern. A little advice, I already hold multiple e-mail addresses for different use. If I could "customize the forwarding email address", that would be awesome. I could forward the spam&suspicious emails only to my "various special email addresses" and deal with them there, instead of the single important email address that I used for logging in to FireFox, which adds one more layer of protection. All in all, great service and great idea!

posted 4 years agoWe're looking at customizing the forwarding address as a future enhancement. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14660079, 4 years agoCan we change the forward email adress? I have a secondary email adress associated with firefox but I cant forward to it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Simon, 4 years agoHey, working for an email service provider which care about good email practices and hunting bad senders, I have some concerns related to the usual ways to receive spam complaints (FBLs) on the sending infrastructure side. Could someone contact me to discuss how it could work ? Thanks in advance !
