- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15019842, 5 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 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16186721, 5 years agoThis extension is absolutely great! Only one page broke due to this extension: https://sacola.magazineluiza.com.br/#/cliente/login/?next=/acompanhamento/&origin=magazineluiza
When trying to login, the email input field on the left stays on top of the reCaptcha prompt, which makes it impossible to read what I should click on. - Rated 3 out of 5by Feedbax, 5 years agoSeems to be working fine so far. Except I am getting the developer tools box opening sporadically for no apparent reason.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Kris, 5 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, 5 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 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13658990, 5 years agoThis is an awesome idea but having a limit of 5 alias is a huge problem. I would like to give out unique email address or categorized email address to different services. If the 5 alias limit is lifted I think this would be a great service.

- Rated 4 out of 5by m-p{3}, 5 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 5 out of 5by Nëru, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by taigi100, 5 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 5 out of 5by William John Quantrill, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Liminor, 5 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 3 out of 5by Ryan, 5 years agoI _want_ to like this, but there are some issues. In order for this service to be more useful than anonaddy, it needs to have the ability to create unlimited aliases with labels so that you can identify which are which.
Use Case: Using a different alias for each website so that you know which site leaked your email to other sites.
Being able to create an alias straight from the extension would be great as well. This would allow me to create an email alias with the firefox relay extension and the password with the lastpass extension. This pair would be a match made in heaven.
The ability to reply to emails that originated from Firefox Relay would also be a nice feature.
I'll be keeping an eye on this for future improvements. It definitely has potential. - Rated 4 out of 5by Mani Naren, 5 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 5 years agoThanks for the feedback! Both of those items are on our backlog. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ravi, 5 years ago

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.Developer response
posted 5 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.
