Firefox Relay by Mozilla Firefox

by wolfgang8741, 2 years agoA welcome email relay service which may improve tracing down data breach origins, but a usability issues exists where premium subscribers using the Firefox extension and selecting "Generate Alias" generates not with the subdomain at this time which is the only reason to remove a star from an otherwise five star extension.
While the primary objective of the relay may be privacy, use cases such as data breach and contact information resale tracing are possible with these custom email aliases. Being able to track which site a custom alias is associated means being able to trace a breach or sale to the original account. (I'm not as concerned with privacy with subdomain use as I am excited about traceability of data sharing origins)

Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi wolfgang8741, thank you for the kind review and the feedback. For the subdomain aliases, they're really great because they're is no need to have the add-on actually generate them, you can easily create them on the fly. For example if you're on your favorite music streaming site you can just type in for the email music@yoursubdomain.mozmail.com and emails will start flowing through to that alias. Or if you're on a news site you could do newssite@yoursubdomain.mozmail.com. We created the subdomain feature for convenience in creating an alias, especially in person or when you're on a mobile app and don't have easy access to the add-on. We do encourage you to use random generated aliases as much as you can though, as a randomly generated alias has a lot more privacy benefits. Thank you!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14235222, 21 days agoThis is a good idea. I faced the issue that on one site alone, I used up 3 of the 5 free email relay addresses. I clicked to use the ONE that I knew I'd setup initially, then went to next line in enter a p/w and r clicked use a second, and finally seeing that the first entry was not my initial relay address> I right clicked using up the last of the five. Now, I hope that deleting all 3 will return those to the fold, since not a ONE of them was actually used. My thought was that you generated a relay and that it was open until I closed it, thus to be used as needed so my real address was kept away from places that didn't really need it.
