Without the ability to reply using the Firefox relay alias, the very purpose to use Relay is moot!
I contacted a car dealership using one of my aliases. However, I had to reply using my own personal email, which got captured by the dealership, and I am now permanently entered in his distribution list.
So, what is the point?
--------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to have the option to create my own prefix email, using the @relay.firefox.com. Without the limitation of 5 aliases.
In this manner, I can control which email is being spammed, example:
I create an account with a new entity; I create the specific alias:
-Mynametag.newentity@relay.firefox.com
If I start to receive junk mail from "newentity", then I delete the alias.
I have done that for many years, unfortunately, it means that I need to create a new email address each time I enroll, which means my computer currently reads tens of email addresses.
So you should give the option to the user to create his own alias, and remove the limit of 5.
Edit on July 31st, 2020:
To avoid collisions, or similar prefixes, you can always have a validation running at creation time; I also add a string to make my alias unique, such as the date at which I create it:
20200731NewEntity@p6.firefox.com
This has two benefits: I can organize my email aliases list in chronological order, increasing or decreasing, and I always keep track of the date at which I created the alias.

posted 6 years agoThanks for the feedback. Creating custom local parts will definitely lead to collisions in the future, so we have an issue filed to support "catch-all" subdomains for aliases: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay/issues/55
E.g., you could make up any alias you want like newentity@p6.firefox.com.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Serge, 3 days agoLamentable, vous avez droit à 5 adresses gratuites sauf que seules les 3 premières fonctionnent, Je déteste qu'on me fasse de fausses promesses et me prenne pour un c... !
- Rated 3 out of 5by Chribs Main, 11 days agoIt's useful, however the addon itself should be an option in settings instead as it's extremely slow and buggy in it's current state. It's the exact same on my brothers Windows machine, whereas Im on linux. Please either optimise this addon, or just have it as a OPT-IN setting.

A extensão Relay alcança o objetivo.
Microsoft não aceita a conexão, reconhece e avança com solicitações. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18650359, 15 days agoJe ne reçoit plus les mails depuis quelques temps, ce n'est pas vraiment pratique quand vous êtes en attente d'informations.
Rien dans les spams, je vais arrêter de l'utiliser, ça ne fonctionne plus. - Rated 4 out of 5by Sterling, 20 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rochken, a month agoA good extension in theory, ive tried to like it and use it instead of the Duckduck Go version and and i just cant, purely because it just doesnt remove any trackers from the emails at all, literally none, i even tested this against DDG by signing up for a mail list once with DDG and once with Relay, DDG removed several trackers and Relay removed none, therefore it is essentially useless.

Either mozilla care about privacy or doesn't, but it has to make a clear choice.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dagny Taggart, a month agoVery cool and easy to use extension!
I’d really appreciate it if the Relay extension could require fewer permissions to install. Ideally, it would work with minimal permissions and offer optional extra permissions for an improved UI. Right now I’m not comfortable granting “access to all website data.”Developer response
posted a month agoThanks for your request! It’s helpful to hear that you’d like to have fewer permissions when installing the extension, with optional additional permissions to improve the UI. We’ve made sure to mark this as feedback for our product teams. Thanks so much for the suggestion! - Rated 5 out of 5by Henry, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by thedoctor, 2 months agoIt's a great addon. If you can add dark mode to the ui that would be great and also the phone mask feature can't be used in Türkiye, it would be really great if you can make accessible for us to buy premium access and use all the premium perks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19471504, 3 months agoSign in pages for many websites don't work. A popup says this section cant be empty. In essence, you cant log into these pages. When i disabled the extension, the problem was resolved.
